MR spectroscopy: clinical applications in brain tumours

Created using ChatSlide

MR Spectroscopy (MRS) plays a crucial role in neuro-oncology by providing biochemical insights into brain tumours, enhancing the diagnostic process beyond standard MRI. It detects metabolic changes early, aiding in biopsy targeting and mapping tumour infiltration. The technique relies on NMR principles to differentiate metabolite resonances, with practical protocols ensuring accurate voxel placement. Key metabolites like choline, NAA, and myo-inositol offer significant clinical relevance,...
