Identification of diffuse and focal brain lesions by clinical magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

摘要: The purpose of this paper is to facilitate the comparison magnetic resonance (MR) spectra acquired from unknown brain lesions with published in order help identify clinical settings. includes lists references for MR various diseases, including pyogenic abscesses, encephalitis (herpes simplex, Rasmussen's and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis), neurocysticercosis, tuberculoma, cysts (arachnoid, epidermoid hydatid), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), Alexander disease, Canavan's Krabbe disease (globoid cell leukodystrophy), Leigh's megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy cysts, metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Zellweger syndrome, HIV-associated [cryptococcus, lymphoma, toxoplasmosis progressive multifocal (PML)], hydrocephalus tuberous sclerosis. Each list information on echo time(s) (TE) spectra, whether a control spectrum shown, corresponding image voxel position are shown patient ages if known. listed approximate usefulness, based spectral quality, number range times positions shown. Spectra cryptococcal infection, lymphoma included, along showing propanediol (propylene glycol).
