Multivoxel proton MR spectroscopy and hemodynamic MR imaging of childhood brain tumors: preliminary observations.
To assess multivoxel proton MR spectroscopy combined with MR imaging and hemodynamic MR imaging in the evaluation of brain tumors in children and young adults. ⋯ Preliminary findings by MR spectroscopy combined with MR imaging and hemodynamic MR imaging suggest that regions of active tumor may be differentiated from areas of normal tissue and areas of necrosis. These findings may enable metabolic and hemodynamic characterization of childhood brain tumors as well as suggest their response to therapy.
