The microenvironment within tumors is significantly different from that in normal tissues. A
major difference is seen in the chaotic vasculature of tumors, which results in unbalanced …

While anatomic imaging (CT and MR imaging) of HNC is focused on diagnosing and/or
characterizing the disease, defining its local extent, and evaluating distant spread, accurate …

Preface t the end of the eighteenth century, Franz Joseph Gall postulated that the various
sensory, motor, and cognitive faculties of man arose from different organs and centers of the …

PURPOSE Our objective was to evaluate the proton MR spectroscopic pattern of the cystic
contents of various intracranial masses and to report characteristic spectral patterns that may …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of proton (hydrogen-1) magnetic resonance (MR)
spectroscopy in the differential diagnosis of focal brain lesions in patients with acquired …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Gadolinium-enhanced MR images assist in defining tumor
borders; however, the relation between tumor cell extent and contrast-enhanced regions is …

Results of magnetic resonance spectroscopic (MRS) studies of the chemical patterns in
brain tumors have been mconsistent. Actual biochemical correlations are needed. In 2 …

We undertook this study to determine if single-voxel proton (hydrogen) MR spectroscopy
could have clinical impact on the management of pediatric brain tumors when MR findings …

BACKGROUD AND PURPOSE: The choline (Cho)/creatine (Cr) ratio has been shown to be
a reliable proton MR spectroscopy metabolic marker for differentiating squamous cell …

Early detection and characterization are still challenging issues in the diagnostic approach
to brain tumors. Among functional imaging techniques, a clinical role for positron emission …
