Utility of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Perfusion Imaging in Differentiating Brain Tumors From Mimics in a Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines
MRS and MRP complement conventional MRI in distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions, differentiation of types of malignancies, and differentiating tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis, offering a non-invasive way of catechizing the biochemical make-up of intracranial lesions.
