Abstract
PurposeThe aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) in differentiating breast lesions. Materials and methodsSingle voxel 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was performed with 3T magnet in 45 women. The choline cut off point was set semi-quantitavely. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRS were calculated. ResultsTwenty-four of 25 (96%) malignant and 9 of 26 (35%) benign lesions had choline peak. With the use cutoff value of 19,5 MRS provided a 96% sensitivity, 65% specificity and 80% accuracy. ConclusionMRS has a high diagnostic accuracy in differentiating breast lesions.
