Figure 2 Effects of cardiac transplantation on the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy spectra. Spectra are obtained from an, 18-year-old male patient before and 2 months after successful cardiac transplantation. The creatine peaks in parietal white matter (a) and occipital gray matter (b) are remarkably increased after cardiac transplantation (arrows). The peaks of mI, Cho and NAA in occipital gray matter are slightly increased after cardiac transplantation (b). Cho = choline; Cr = creatine; mI = myo-inositol; NAA = N-acetylaspartate.
