Non-invasive and quantitative, magnetic resonance
spectroscopy is ideally suited for treatment monitoring
in brain gliomas. Recent studies have demonstrated the
use of two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy (2D-COSY)
for the evaluation of multiple metabolites. The goal of
this study was to examine the efficacy of 2D-COSY
compared to conventional MRS for the evaluation of brain
tumors before and after radiochemotherapy. Our results
demonstrate that 2D-COSY method provides similar results
as 1D-MRS and can potentially provide additional
metabolic information that may impact therapy.
