MR spectroscopy (MRS) provides non-invasive quantification of tissue metabolites, enabling
insight into physiology, metabolism, and drug response. These measurements complement
quantitative MRI biomarkers by adding biochemical specificity in neurological, oncological,
and systemic disease studies.
Bioxydyn supports MRS protocol design and harmonisation across sites and scanners, ensuring
reproducible acquisition and consistent spectral quality. We implement robust quality control
and analysis workflows to produce auditable, trial-ready outputs.
Quantitative parametric maps integrate with spectroscopy to refine tissue characterisation.
Our spectroscopy services integrate with DCE-MRI, diffusion MRI, relaxometry, and perfusion
assays to provide a multi-modal view of tissue status. From study design to reporting, we
deliver transparent analysis that supports confident clinical decisions.
