Overview

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MR spectroscopy) study for medulloblastoma demonstrates an elevated choline level and a reduced N-acetyl aspartate level. MR spectroscopy study also demonstrates a peak in taurine level.

Other Imaging Findings

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

• MR spectroscopy imaging may distinguish medulloblastoma from other differential diagnosis. Medulloblastoma features include:

• Elevated choline level
• Significantly elevated taurine level
• Reduced N-acetyl aspartate level
