The Emerging Significance of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Diverse Intracranial Pathologies – Pictorial Review

This study aimed to outline the role of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in diagnosing various intracranialpathologies in Pakistan by evaluating patients who underwent MRI with MRS on Siemens 3-Tesla or Toshiba Titan1.5-Tesla scanners, with interpretations by consultant radiologists and correlation with histopathological diagnoses,alongside a supporting literature review. The findings highlight the broad clinical utility of MRS in assessing braintumors as well as neurological and mental disorders, enabling differentiation among multiple diagnostic possibilities.Overall, MRS emerges as a versatile technique for investigating cerebral metabolic processes and contributessignificantly to tumor identification, localization, staging, assessment of aggressiveness, and evaluation of treatmentresponse, thereby enhancing patient care.Keywords: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; Brain; Neurology; Radiology.
