Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy — Revisiting the Imaging Aspects of Brain Tumors
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Imaging still remains one of the powerful and non-invasive tools in the field of medicine and biological research. Over time, various imaging tools continue to develop, especially when it comes to the management of brain tumor patients. This research article summarizes the state-of-the art Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) applications in the etiology of brain tumors. In this article, we discuss MR imaging as a tool to diagnose patients with different kinds of brain tumors. This article also discuss the application of MR Spectroscopy in delineating the type, nature and stages of different brain tumors with respective to the alteration of chemical thumbprints in brain tumor tissues. We review the importance and applications of MRS in general, imaging sequences and image mapping in the context of different types of brain tumors and its cellular and physiological characteristics. With an aim to study the demographic profiles of tumor patients with brain neoplasms and to correlate our findings of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to that of MRS, this article provides a basis for understudying the role of MRS to evaluate the biology of different types of brain tumors.
