Abstract :
Most hospitals are nowadays equipped with 1.5T or even 3T scanners and the use of the different MRI modalities has become widespread for diagnosis and treatment planning. However, MRS is still little used in clinical practice. For this, methods to aid radiologists in interpreting the MRS signal have been developed. The INTERPRET decision-support system, designed with this aim, will be discussed.
