✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Five patients, each with a brain abscess, were examined by means of ^1^H MR spectroscopic imaging in vivo. The aspirated pus was analyzed in vitro by means of 1D and 2D COSY ^1^H MRS. In addition to resonance lines from compounds (lactate, alanine and lipids) often found in the spectra from intracranial tumors, resonance lines were detected from a number of markers of infectious involvement (acetate, succinate, and various amino acids). These results suggest that ^1^H MRS in vivo might contribute in establishing noninvasively a differential diagnosis between brain abscess and tumor.
