Abstract
We examined 11 patients (9 male and 2 female, age 41 +/- 13) presentin g astrocytomas of different malignancy grade (WHO) with single voxel ( PRESS) and double voxel (STABLE) spectroscopy techniques. The content of choline in the tumors was determined as a function of their grade o f malignity and a significant correlation was found. The measurements were repeated after interstitial radiosurgery. Observed spectra change s induced by this stereotactic treatment with I-125-seed demonstrated the possibility of therapy monitoring.
