BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Abscesses caused by aerobic bacteria (aerobic abscesses) can simulate intracranial glioblastomas multiforme (GBMs) in MR imaging appearance and single voxel (SV) proton MR spectroscopy of the central cavity. The purpose of our study was to determine whether MR spectroscopic imaging (SI) can be used to differentiate aerobic abscesses from GBMs. Our hypothesis was that metabolite levels of choline (Cho) are decreased in the ring-enhancing portion of abscesses compared with GBMs.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
