Abstract
Complementary to morphological studies by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), localized in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) opens the way to a biochemical characterization of brain tumours. This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic value of image-selected localized proton and phosphorus MRS in patients suffering from intracranial tumours.
