Abstract: Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) permits a noninvasive, in vivo assessment of metabolites in the tissue of interest. This chapter primarily reviews the role of proton MRSI in brain tumors and prostate cancer for detection, grading, treatment selection, and assessment of treatment response and prognosis. It reveals that proton MRSI may be a promising adjunct to MRI for better diagnostic and prognostic applications in oncology. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
