powerful research tool and has been proved to provide
additional clinically relevant information for several diseases
such as brain tumors, metabolic disorders, and systemic
diseases.
Aim The aims of this study were to evaluate cerebral
metabolic imbalance in chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) and to correlate the abnormalities with
