Proton MR spectroscopy of brain abscesses.
We read with great interest the article by Pal et al. The authors reported on their experience with the application of proton MR (HMR) spectroscopy in the imaging evaluation of patients harboring intracranial abscess. In their retrospective study, they examined 194 patient charts and imaging studies, and they concluded that the detection of cytosolic amino acids is a strong indication of an abs...
متن کاملIn vivo proton MR spectroscopy evaluation of pyogenic brain abscesses: a report of 194 cases.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The combination of nonspecific clinical findings and similarities in morphologic appearances on imaging often makes it difficult to distinguish abscesses from other brain lesions. We present a retrospective analysis of in vivo (1)H-MR spectroscopy data for characterization of the etiology of the brain abscess based on the established criteria and demonstrate the sensitivi...
متن کاملIn vivo proton MR spectroscopy of untreated and treated brain abscesses.
MR spectroscopy was performed in three patients with brain abscesses. In two patients, MR spectroscopy revealed end-products of bacterial breakdown (acetate, succinate, amino acids, lactate) in the abscess cysts. In one of these, the spectrum was reversed to a single lactate peak after treatment. In the third patient, MR spectroscopy was performed only after treatment and showed a single nonspe...
متن کاملProton Mr Spectroscopy in Brain Metabolic Disorders
Metabolic disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) include pathologies with extremely different pathogenesis. The clinical diagnosis of these disorders is often very difficult and requires sophisticated laboratory investigations. Proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy (1H-MRS) has been recently used in a number of clinical studies to supplement conventional MRI as it is able to provid...
