Abstract
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.
