Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy usually referred as Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). MRS/NMR spectroscopy is a technique used to determine various metabolites. It can be performed in vivo as well as in vitro. A problem with in vivo NMR spectroscopy is recognizing individual metabolite contribution within the spectrum, at short echo time. Echo-planar- imaging termed as fast imaging is preferred for MRS. A chemical shift information is suitable for recognizing the singlet resonances
and repair process. However, inflammation can also be potentially harmful to our body because of the chemicals involve in inflammation process which are capable to destroy and injure normal tissues. The components of inflammatory process are white blood cells, plasma proteins and chemical mediator such as cytokines. All these induce the inflammation at the site of infection or damaged tissue.
