dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the present study was to evaluate distinct metabolic features of meningiomas to distinguish them from other brain lesions using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The study was performed on 17 meningiomas, 24 high-grade gliomas and 9 metastases. Elevated signal intensity at 3.8 ppm observed in low TE spectra adequately differentiated meningioma from other brain tumors while alanine was riot indicative of meningioma occurrence; the presence of lipids and lactate did not provide a strong index for meningioma malignancy. | en |
