Abstract:
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS)is an advanced medical imaging technique that can provide more accurate physiological and biochemical information than an MRI.MRS has more advantages in displaying abnormal physiological signs than the conventional MRI.A key problem in radiation therapy is the definition of the tumor target volume.MRS can define the tumor margin and range as well as predict the immediate response or side effects to radiotherapy.This paper summarized the role of MRS in tumor volume definition and clinical evaluation in radiation therapy.
