Магнитно-резонансная спектроскопия (МРС) – неинвазивный метод измерения концентрации химических веществ, позволяющий проводить оценку биохимических сдвигов в норме и при различных патологических состояниях in vivo. Метод открывает широкие перспективы как для первичной диагностики, так и для оценки эффективности последующего лечения – терапевтического либо хирургического. Данный обзор литературы посвящён проблеме применения протонной МРС при различных опухолях головного мозга, его оболочек и прилежащих нервов. Авторами собраны и систематизированы данные по вопросам первичной диагностики, дифференциальной диагностики и оценки эффективности лечения опухолей, приводятся ссылки как на фундаментальные работы в этой области, так и на совсем недавние научные изыскания.

 

 

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a noninvasive technique to measure the concentration of chemical substances, which estimates biochemical changes in health and different diseases in vivo. The technique opens up a wide range of possibilities for both primary diagnosis and evaluation of the efficiency of further treatment – medical or surgical one. This review of literature is dedicated to proton MRS used in different tumors of the brain, its tunics, and adjacent nerves. It contains and systematizes data related to the problems of primary diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and evaluation of the efficiency of treatment for tumors and gives references to both basic researches in this area and recent investigations.
