La espectroscopia por resonancia magnética (RM) de protón es una técnica incruenta para evaluar el contenido bioquímico de los tejidos vivos, que proporciona información metabólica complementaria a las alteraciones anatómicas que se pueden encontrar en los estudios radiológicos. Esta información se ha demostrado útil en varios procesos patológicos. Un campo en que esta información puede ser de mayor impacto es en la tipificación prequirúrgica de los tumores cerebrales. En este artículo se revisan las principales resonancias que se pueden encontrar en este tipo de patologías, así como los patrones espectroscópicos para algunos grupos tumorales.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a non-invasive technique for evaluating the biochemical contents of living tissues and provides metabolic information to complement anatomic findings from imaging studies. This information has proven useful in several pathological processes. One field in which this information can have great impact is the characterization of brain tumors prior to surgery. This article reviews the main resonances that can be found in this type of pathologies and the spectroscopic patterns for some groups of tumors.
