MR DSC perfusion and multivoxel spectroscopy in intracranial lesions: Practical application

With advancement in surgical treatment and chemotherapy options, imaging modalities also need to incorporate advanced neuroimaging modalities for more accurate diagnosis and grading of intracranial masses. This prospective study aims to distinguish intracranial space occupying lesions using dynamic susceptibility MR perfusion and multi voxel spectroscopy techniques. It also attempts to distinguish between progression, pseudo progression and morphologically similar appearing pathologies. The main purpose of chemotherapy is to kill cancer cells. It usually is used to treat patients with cancer that has spread from the place in the body where it originated (metastasized). Chemotherapy destroys cancer cells anywhere in the body. It even kills cells that have broken off from the main tumor and travelled through the blood or lymph systems to other parts of the body.
