Efficacy of in vivo 31Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Differentiation and Staging of Adult Human Brain Tumors

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS) in the differentiation and staging of brain tumors. Fifteen volunteers and 44 patients with brain tumors (14 meningiomas, 13 low- and 17 high-grade gliomas) were prospectively evaluated by 31P-MRS. Th...
