The purpose of this pictorial review is
* To illustrate the classic MRI characteristics of PA in common and less typical locations in both standard advanced MRI sequences. Special attention to MR Spectroscopy will be provided
* To outline the less specific imaging features
* To discuss the relevant differential diagnosis according to tumor location Read More

Proton MRS (1H-MRS) is a technique to non-invasively study brain metabolites in vivo. 1H-MRS has been shown to detect abnormal brain accumulation of lactate in primary mitochondrial disorders (PMDs). However, differences in lactate concentration among the different PMDs have not been explored. We aimed to explore differences in quantitative 1H-MRS derived metabolite concentrations, particularly of lactate, and their ratios, in PMDs. We analyzed quantitative 1H-MRS data of the brain in pediatric patients with different types of genetically confirmed PMDs to evaluate differences in metabolite concentration and ratios. Read More
