Resumen

LOZANO, Alfonso; BARBOSA, Nathaly  y  AGULLES, Luis. Magnetic resonance spectrum analysis. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.1, pp.11-17. ISSN 0123-9015.

Objective: To study the performance in the use of metabolite ratios and the comparison of a contralateral volume of interest in order to determine which of these two techniques is most suitable for obtaining a ratio of the metabolite behaviour of a magnetic resonance spectrum. Methods: The parietal lobe, the temporal lobe, and basal ganglions were analysed in the 10 healthy volunteers included in the study. Results: The direct quantification of the spectra showed a wide coefficient of variation within the analyses performed, which justified using techniques with endogenous references. The study of a contralateral volume showed to be a technique with a high dispersion and laterality index. The use of creatinine (Cr) as a control metabolite had a lower coefficient of variation than the first technique evaluated. The results obtained (basal ganglions: N-acetyl-aspartate/Cr: 3 ± 6; choline/Cr: 2 ± 4. Temporal lobe: N-acetyl-aspartate/Cr: 5 ± 5; choline/Cr: 8 ± 12. Parietal Lobe: N-acetyl-aspartate/Cr: 2.0 ± 0.6; choline/Cr: 0.9 ± 0.5) showed similar values to those obtained in the literature, with considerable anatomical region variations. Conclusions: The technique that measures the ratio of the metabolites with Cr is the most suitable for use in the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (National Oncology Institute), due to having a lower dispersion and producing results near those repo rted in the literature in the different anatomical regions studied.
