Abstract

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has a key role in the management of many childhood tumours. There is increasing interest in extending these investigations to MR techniques that give information on tumour biology in vivo. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is one such method and it provides information on tissue biochemistry. Promising results have been obtained from many preclinical and clinical studies, leading to an expectation that MRS will play a valuable clinical role. However, the role of MRS is not yet well defined and there is a paucity of data from multi-centre clinical trials. In this article we concentrate on MRS in paediatric oncology and provide some general guidance on current applications and outline areas that need to be developed further.
