～1H NMR Spectroscopic Study Of Human Brain And Brain Tumors

In the last 15 years, NMR has become more popular clinical practice, and was accepted as a new and promising modality in ima-geology, especialy in neuroradiology. Besides the visualization of the internal anotomy of the body, this technique also afford a non-invasive facilitie looking into the physiological and biochemical changes of living human body, that is magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).Brain tumor are not rare, The annual incidence of brain tumor is about 10 per 100,000 population, and approximately 2.5% of all cancer deaths are caused by brain tumor. For it's location in particular, it is very important to make accurate diagnosis including an-otomic location and pathologic determination before hand instead of exploratory operation. Localizated proton MR spectroscopy has provided a non-invasive method to investigate either normal or pathologic brain metabolism. Some reports about the brain tumor are mainly...
