Improved Noninvasive Diagnostic Testing for Malignant Hyperthermia Susceptibility from a Combination of Metabolites Determined In Vivo with 31P-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Abstract

This study confirms that 31P-MRS could be useful for distinguishing noninvasively between MH-susceptible and MH-negative patients if several MRS parameter are combined. Moreover, the present MRS approach appears to be more reliable and easier than that used during exercise.
