Summary

We review the current state in literature of the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the assessment and characterization of cerebral astrocytomas. Special attention will be paid to the presurgical grading of astrocytomas and to the role of spectroscopy in differentiating these tumors from other neoplastic and nonneoplastic brain lesions.

Key words:
Spectroscopy
Magnetic resonance
Astrocytomas
