In this study, short echo time 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was applied for
quantification of neurometabolites using the LC Model algorithm in Taiwanese adolescents
with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Proton magnetic resonance spectra
were acquired bilaterally on the prefrontal area (part of the anterior cingulate gyrus and part
of the medial frontal gyrus) in 15 adolescents with ADHD (average age of 13.88 years) and
22 controls (average age of 14.85 years). Absolute metabolite levels and ratios relative to …
