Value of Contrast Enhanced CT Scanning in the Non-Trauma Emergency Room Patient Neuroradiology 32:261-264, Wood,L.P.,et al, 1990 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Fifty patients with newly diagnosed,untreated intracranial tumors were examined with 1H nuclear magnetic resonance single-volume spectroscopy MRS)using a 1.5 T whole-body MR system.Prior to the MRS,contrast enhanced MR and/or CT imaging studies were carried out.Histological verification was obtained in all patients except one.All tumor spectra revealed distinct abnormalities as compared with the normal brain spectra.Although most meningiomas showed a rather characteristic spectral pattern,generally most meningiomas showed a rather characteristic spectral pattern,generally features specific for the various tumor types were not observed.For instance,though a strong lactic acid signal was seen in most malignant tumors,this signal was also evident in five benign neoplasms.
