Study of magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging technique in evaluating ring enhancing lesion in brain

Introduction: Ring-enhancing lesions is the most common abnormality faced in neuro-imaging. Imaging modalities commonly used to diagnose such are Computed Tomography (CT) and MRI. However, these considered challenging for radiologists. Diagnosing ring enhancing by conventional MRI challenging, especially when neoplastic, non-neoplastic infections be differentiated. Differentiation between tuberculoma neurocysticercosis still a problem radiologist as both look similar on Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) may able clearly differentiate them based metabolite level. Present study was conducted characteristics of various brain using magnetic infections, inflammatory vascular Materials Methods: 50 patients age 10 70 years diagnosed with MR studies fulfilling inclusion exclusion criteria were enrolled. scan performed GE optima 360-16 channel all. Single voxel instead multi-voxel which placed lesion way that maximum area lesion, its margin normal tissue will covered.Observations Results: Primary Brain Tumors found 16 (32%) cases, Metastasis 22 (44%), Abscess 8 (16%), Neurocysticercosis (NCC) 2 (4%), Tuberculoma 1 (2%) & Tumefactive Demyelination case. In majority cases i.e. 38 (76%) size
