Preliminary Observation of Dynamic Changes in Alcohol Concentration in the Human Brain with Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy on a 3T MR Instrument.

Our purposes were to establish suitable conditions for proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to measure dynamic changes in alcohol concentration in the human brain, to evaluate these changes, and to compare the findings with data from analysis of breath vapor and blood samples.

We evaluated 4 healthy volunteers (mean age 26.5
