Efficacy of single voxel 1H MR spectroscopic imaging at 3T for the differentiation of benign and malign breast lesions

Purpose The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) in differentiating breast lesions. Materials and methods Single voxel 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was performed with 3 T magnet in 45 women. The choline cut off point was set semi-quantitavely. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRS were calculated. Results Twenty-four of 25 (96%) malignant and 9 of 26 (35%) benign lesions...
