Abstract
We used computer pattern recognition of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic image data to differentiate between brain tumors and large, isolated, demyelinating lesions of the type seen in multiple sclerosis. Leave-one-out linear discriminant analyses correctly classified resonance profiles from five acute demyelinating lesions, 20 low-grade astrocytomas, 22 anoplastic astrocytomas, and 24 glioblastomas. Classification of nonacute lesions will require further development, as the metabolic profiles of demyelinating lesions evolve over time.
