Objective To show the distinctive resonance pattern in 7 cases of intracranial abscess and 19 cases of cystic lesions as to evaluating these specific resonance peaks. Methods Characteristics of ~1H-MRS in 7 patients with brain abscesses and 19 with cystic or necrotic intracranial tumors were analyzed and compared. Peak assignment was based on reference values from in vivo and in vitro studies. Results Among 7 patients with brain abscesses, 6 showed the presence of cytosolic amino acid (AA) at 0.9 ppm, 5 showed alanine (Ala) at 1.5 ppm, 2 showed acetate (Ac) at 1.9 ppm and 1 patient showed succinate (Suc) at 2.4 ppm. None of the above resonances had been detected in spectra from 19 cases of cystic or necrotic intracranial tumors. Conclusions ~1H-MRS might reflect the different histochemical specificity of abscesses and cystic or necrotic tumors effectively. It should have special values in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the brain abscess.

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)can reflect the brain structure and development more quantitatively and intuitively than conventional magnetic resonance sequence by obtaining the diffusion properties of water molecules. In neonatal brain developmental research,DTI could be used to study the developmental regularities of white matter tracts and cerebral structure deformity.It can also help to explore the relationship between white matter microstructure and neurodevelopmental outcome.In the study of brain injury,including premature white matter injury,hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy,neonatal stroke,and so on,DTI can diagnose the brain microstructure injury precisely,evaluate the ef-fectiveness of interventions and predict the long -term neurodevelopmental outcome.DTI may have good prospect in re-search and clinical application on neonatal brain development and injury.
