Book Chapter Description

Chapter Advanced MR Methods in Differential Diagnosis of Brain Tumors deals with advanced and future MR imaging methods in brain tumors. In this chapter, we will discuss future MR spectroscopic methods that are promising regarding the tumor diagnosis and the research of tumor biology. Whereas Chap. MR Spectroscopic Imaging focuses on diagnostic significance of 1H and 31P MRS, we herein put more emphasis on methodical issues of MRS. First, we deal with special editing methods to detect special "tumor" metabolites (glycine, 2-hydroxy-glutarate). In the second part, we discuss methods and biological implications of x-nucleus spectroscopy, focusing on the nuclei 3 1P and 1 3C. Here, we point out that a considerable proportion of advanced spectroscopic studies dealing with brain tumors come from animal studies.
