Clinical Issue:
The diagnosis of metabolic disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) can be very challenging for radiologists because of the nonspecific white matter lesions of the brain, the rarity of these diseases, and the variety of possible differential diagnoses.
Radiological Standard Methods:
Standard for the evaluation of the metabolic disorders is cranial MRI. The MRI spectroscopy can additionally help to reduce the possible differential diagnoses.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
