摘要
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) can provide specific biochemical information within breast lesions and the elevated composite choline concentration as a useful diagnostic tool has been used to distinguish malignant from benign breast lesions, early evaluate response to therapy and predict prognosis. However, several obstacles including poor spatial resolution, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), long acquisition time and the difficulty of "extra" lipid suppression may have a negative impact on the routine application of in vivo 1H MRS for human breast cancer. At present, optimization H MRS methodology for breast studies has been performed.
