Z-spectra from healthy and malignant regions of bladder
cancer patients of bladder cancer patients are fit as
separate components upfield and downfield from water,
and the magnitude of the MTR asymmetry is calculated at
2.0 ppm and 3.5 ppm offset frequencies using the results
of the fitting process. The MTR asymmetry at the 3.5 ppm
offset frequency is statistically significantly
different between tumor and normal bladder wall,
suggesting that this technique is able to distinguish
between the two regions.
