THESIS "Comparative analysis of the results of the pre-operative evaluation of intra-cranial tumors by using Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Open or Stereotactic Biopsy” . This thesis was completed under the guidance of Professor of Neurosurgery, Th. Maraziotis, M.D.,PhD, School of Medicine, University of Patras, Patras, Greece. My thesis was completed and was published in the Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery Summary The ability of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to differentiate neoplastic brain cells and their metabolic and structural characteristics is evaluated. We examined 120 patients with brain tumors using a 1.5-tesla MRI unit and proton MRS. The peak areas of N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), phosphocreatine-creatine (Pcr-Cr), choline-containing compounds (Cho), lactate (Lac), lipids, myoinositol, amino acids and the metabolic ratios of NAA/Pcr-Cr,NAA/Cho and Cho/PCR-Cr were calculated by a standard integral algorithm. In normal brain tissue, the following metabolites were identified: NAA at 2.0 ppm, Pcr-Cr at 3.0 ppm and Cho at 3.0 ppm. The different concentrations of the metabolites examined and their role in the biochemical profile of

different types of tumors are discussed. The confidence interval of the MRS versus pathology was between 0.9 and 0.954, while the respective rates for conventional MRI it was between 0.52 and 0.631 for single voxel MRI versus pathology. The Cho/Pcr-Cr ratio is a very important malignancy marker for histologic tumor grading of astrocytomas.The greater this ratio, the higher the grade of astrocytoma. NAA/Pcr-Cr together with Cho/Pcr-Cr helps specify the presence or absence of a neoplasm. Proton MRS is a useful and promising diagnostic modality not only in diagnosing but also in grading solid brain tumors.
