摘要：
Aspects of the disclosure relate to systems and methods for obtaining and interpreting magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data obtained from the pancreas of a subject. In some embodiments, systems and methods of the disclosure relate to analyzing MRS spectra of metabolites, for example y-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), to assess pancreatic islet density and function in a subject. In some embodiments, systems and methods described by the disclosure are useful for the diagnosis and/or treatment of diseases associated with impaired pancreatic function, for example diabetes.
