Magnetic resonance spectroscopy of neoplasms.

MRS made especially versatile with current technology of multinuclear coils and time interlacing of signals is appropriately suited to multifaceted tumor biochemistry, where growth is a key metabolic feature. The established results that bioenergetics and lipid metabolite concentrations show a variety of responses in tumor growth and remission in response to anticancer procedures add a further novel dimension to tumor studies by MRS. Finally, the versatility of the multinuclear MRS approach seems most appropriate to the varied nature of cancer.
