'H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy enables many metabolites in normal and tumour tissue to be examined and has considerable clinical potential. However, the spectra are complex and much of the biochemical information they contain is inaccessible to visual analysis. This paper assesses the tr
## Abstract Pattern recognition techniques (factor analysis and neural networks) were used to investigate and classify human brain tumors based on the ^1^H NMR spectra of chemically extracted biopsies (n = 118). After removing information from lactate (because of variable ischemia times), unsupervi
Recent studies have shown that MRS can substantially improve the non-invasive categorization of human brain tumours. However, in order for MRS to be used routinely by clinicians, it will be necessary to develop reliable automated classification methods that can be fully validated. This paper is in t
