Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in distinguishing neoplasticfrom non-neoplastic ring enhancing brain lesions taking histopathological findings as gold standard.Study Design and Setting: The cross sectional study was conducted at Radiology department of Jinnah PostgraduateMedical Centre.Methodology: Total 102 patients with ring enhancing lesions detected on MRI brain contrast studies were selected for thisstudy. Cases were referred from Outpatient Department of Neurology Clinics who were suspected of having space occupyinglesions in brain. Full history, clinical examination and laboratory investigations (Complete Blood Count and ESR) werecarried out. The patients having claustrophobia, metallic implants, cardiac pacemaker and having metallic foreign bodyin situ were excluded from the study. Informed consent was taken from the research and MRS was performed. On MRS,lesion was categ...
