Untreated Pediatric Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor in Vivo: Quantitation of Taurine with MR Spectroscopy

Abstract

Single-voxel quantitative (1)H MR spectroscopy performed in patients with untreated pediatric brain tumors showed that the Tau concentration was significantly elevated in PNETs and was useful in the differentiation of PNETs from other tumors.
