Comparison of diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance spectroscopy with conventional magnetic resonance imaging for brain tumors and correlation with histopathology as gold standard

Background; Despite a large number of revolutionized advancements in Imaging technology clinicians are unable to get hundred percent accurate results. Multiple limitations have been observed modalities. published trials available online on the evaluations these imaging modalities individually and combinations find out level accuracy technologies. Objective; This study was design compare diagnostic MR Spectroscopy with MRI which is conventional tool for brain tumor diagnosis while keeping Histopathology evaluation as Gold Standard. Methodology; The patients who fulfilled inclusion criteria were included study. All scans carried GE 1.5 Tesla Scanner using head coil. Axial T1W, T2W, Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR), Sagittal Coronal Attenuation. (FLAIR) T1W post- contrast Axial, images acquired. spectroscopy performed through single voxel technique. Final made histopathology reports biopsy co related radiological MRS. Results; conducted 150 suspected cases. There 85(56.7%) males 65(43.3%) females. 100(66.7%) cases confirmed positive 50(33.3%) negative.
