2 MRS & Perfusion of Brain Tumors Tumor histology Degree of malignancy Delineate tumor beyond T2 and enhancing margins Guide biopsy Follow response to therapy

3 Normal MR Spectrum Lipid Lactate NAA Glutamates Creatine Choline Myo-Inositol Lying Lazy No Good Crooks Cheat My Insurance Brian Ross, Huntington Medical Research Institute

4 Normal MR Spectrum 2 GM Hunter s angle WM

6 MRS & Perfusion of Brain Tumors Perfusion (rcbv) elevated in metastases, meningiomas & gliomas (Grades 3 & 4) NAA decreased in tumors that displace or destroy neurons Cho increased in tumors (hypercellularity) Lipids seen in necrotic tumors - indicative of high malignancy Lactate noted in highly cellular malignant tumors that outgrow blood supply Myo-inositol elevated in low-grade gliomas
