Proton MR spectroscopy of tumefactive demyelinating lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) can simulate intracranial neoplasms in clinical presentation and MR imaging appearance, and surgical biopsy is often performed in suspected tumors. Proton MR spectroscopy has been applied in assessing various intracranial diseases and is increasingly used in diagnosis and clinical management. Our purpose was to determine if multivo...
متن کاملQuantitative cervical spinal cord 3T proton MR spectroscopy in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MR spectroscopy) is a useful technique for evaluating neuronal/axonal damage and demyelization in multiple sclerosis (MS). Because MS disability is frequently related to spinal cord lesions, potential markers for MS stage differentiation and severity would require in vivo quantification of spinal integrity. However, few spectroscopy stud...
متن کاملClinical Relevance of Mr Spectroscopy in the Spinal Cord
SUMMARY: MR spectroscopy allows insight into the chemical composition of human tissue noninvasively. Thereby it can help to better characterize pathologic processes affecting the spinal cord andmay provide important clinicalmarkers for differential diagnosis. However, due to technical challenges, it has been rarely applied to the spinal cord. The aim of this review was to summarize the technica...
متن کاملThe early evolution of spinal cord lesions on MR imaging following traumatic spinal cord injury.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE How early spinal cord injury (SCI) lesions evolve in patients after injury is unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize the early evolution of spinal cord edema and hemorrhage on MR imaging after acute traumatic SCI. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 48 patients with clinically complete cervical spine injury. Inclusion criteria ...
متن کاملProton MR Spectroscopy
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been in use in biochemistry labs for more than 50 yr. In its earlier years, it was used primarily for in vitro chemical analysis of small samples. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful imaging technique that combines exquisite sensitivity to soft tissue contrast with the ability to demonstrate anatomy in many different planes and projec...
