Recent Examples on the Web To determine what was going on, the team used magnetic resonance spectroscopy, a form of magnetic resonance imaging that enables researchers to detect levels of certain chemicals in the brain. 
Diana Kwon, Scientific American, 11 Aug. 2022 The participants reported their levels of fatigue, and researchers used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to monitor their metabolic response throughout the study period, according to the study. Madeline Holcombe, CNN, 11 Aug. 2022 The story cited a research paper published in the science journal Science Advances that looked at racial bias in an A.I. system designed to classify brain activity from functional magnetic resonance image (fMRI) scans. Jeremy Kahn, Fortune, 3 May 2022 The healthcare business is its third-largest segment — producing diagnostic imaging systems including magnetic resonance, X-ray, digital mammography and nuclear imaging. Michelle Champman, The Enquirer, 9 Nov. 2021 Advances in medical technology like magnetic resonance imagining, which do not require cutting open a body, bolster a belief that autopsies are less necessary. New York Times, 8 July 2021 Sophisticated imaging technologies like functional magnetic resonance can give you some clues. Adam Rogers, Wired, 29 Oct. 2020 Thomas Meade, an inorganic chemist and molecular imaging expert at Northwestern University, studies the development of probes for magnetic resonance and optical imaging.
