Despite different intracranial tumour subtypes varying largely in their prognoses and recommended treatment regimens, they can have markedly similar appearances on standard radiology, especially in paediatric patients where they tend to occur in the midline. There is a need for a non-invasive, accurate method of determining tumour diagnosis to help expedite treatment planning. Existing studies have found magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to have value in diagnosing intracranial tumours in adults. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MRS could be accurate in diagnosing and grading paediatric intracranial tumours.
