Abstract: Discrimination between high and low glioma grade remains avital diagnostic decision, determining the most effective treatment and having an important impact on patient manage-ment and outcome .In vivo HMR spectroscopic examinations are often used in clinical environments to assess tumor aggressiveness and help the MRI-based tumor diagnosis. Auseful parameter in this sense is the total Choline (tCho) versus Creatine (Cr) ratio, which has previously been reported to be related to tumor grade. ...
