NCIt definition : Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a noninvasive imaging technique that acts as a
complement to conventional imaging of brain tumors in order to improve the sensitivity
and specificity of the diagnostic process. This technique operates by exciting and
recording signals from a range of magnetic resonance frequencies, allowing the identification
and quantification of several biologically significant molecules containing proton
groups that resonate in the appropriate frequency range. The technique facilitates
observation of the spatial distribution of metabolic patterns over a region of interest
and surrounding tissue at a high spatial resolution.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A noninvasive imaging method that provides information about cellular activity
(metabolic information). It is used along with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which
provides information about the shape and size of the tumor (spatial information).; CDISC: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a noninvasive imaging technique that operates
