Arend Heerschap starts his talk with a lookback to the early days of in vivo NMR spectroscopy around 1985. He then discusses the future directions of spectroscopy such as fingerprinting, CEST, and dynamic MRS with isotopic labels such as deuterium ²H. He details water extraction methods that circumvent the disadvantages of water suppression. He then shows exciting results of human muscle metabolism via dynamic ³¹P MRS as well as dynamic MRS in mouse brain after ¹³C glucose infusion and the glucose to lactate conversion and use of it to differentiate tumors via the Warburg effect.
