Abstract:
Objective To assess the value of ~1 HMRS in the classification and differential diagnosis of astrocytoma. Methods 58 cases of astrocytoma including 18 cases of diffuse astrocytoma, 24 cases of anaplastic astrocytoma and 16 cases of glioblastoma were all examined by routine MR scan and ~1 HMRS, statistical analysis was done on Cho/Cr, Cho/NAA and NAA/Cr ratio. Results Diffuse astrocytoma showed slightly elevated Cho, a bit decreased NAA and Cr. Lac wave did not appear. Anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma both manifested distinctly elevated Cho, obviously decreased NAA and Cr. Lac wave existed in 6 cases. In diffuse astrocytoma the ratio of Cho/NAA was 2.72?1.16, Cho/Cr was 2.66?1.21, NAA/Cr was 1.02?0.34. In anaplastic astrocytoma the ratio of Cho/NAA was 5.69?1.32, Cho/Cr was 4.92?1.46, NAA/Cr was 0.92?0.16. In glioblastoma the value of Cho/NAA was 5.71?1.08, Cho/Cr was 5.12?1.76, NAA/Cr was 0.87?0.13.Conclusion It is very significant of ~1 HMRS in the classification and differential diagnosis of astrocytoma.
