NMR Spin
Spin basic property of matter 1H, 13C, 31P all have an observable magnetic
moment This project deals with protons 1H The protons precess in a magnetic field at a frequency
proportional to the field strength B0

NMR
An orthogonal field B1 at the same
frequency can tip the magnetic moment into the transverse plane
In the transverse plane the the motion of the magnetic moment create a radio frequency signal at a frequency proportional to the B

Lesion and Removal
The 24 rats injured with clip Complete laminectomy and spinal cords extracted at
4h, 24h, 1 week, or 4 weeks 6 control cords also extracted

Summary
Preoperative images with high detail can be obtained Distortion from Pl/Ir micro wires large enough to be
observed but small enough not to ruin the image. Water compartmentalization can separate mylin water from
other cellular water and this seems to change with injury Major changes are observable in-vitro in both Myline and
NAAG NAA, Creatine, and Choline can be observed in the spinal
cord in-vivo

Future Directions
Imaging of human spinal cord Imaging of Pl/Ir wires in a live cat Determining if water component ratios and times vary with
respect to time of injury Can Myo-Inositol or NAAG be observed in-vivo
