Animation gratuite MRS_spectroscopy_tumour

The animation shows MR spectroscopy (MRS) data from two brain regions. The choline peak is notably higher in the upper voxel, suggesting increased levels of choline-containing compounds. Choline is a marker associated with cell membrane turnover. Thus, a raised choline peak typically indicates increased cellular activity, particularly in rapidly dividing or metabolically active tissue — which is why it’s often elevated in brain tumors.
