Characterization of Bone and Soft-Tissue Tumors with in Vivo¹H MR Spectroscopy: Initial Results

Abstract

Choline can be reliably detected in large malignant bone and soft-tissue tumors by using a multiecho point-resolved spectroscopic protocol. 1H MR spectroscopy can help differentiate malignant from benign musculoskeletal tumors by revealing the presence or absence of water-soluble choline metabolites.
