Proton MRS in Pott's spine--a case report.
Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy was carried out at 1.5 T on a patient with histologically proven Pott's spine affecting D11 vertebral body. In addition to the significantly reduced signals from the lipids in the region between 1 and 2 ppm, a prominent resonance at 5.1 ppm is seen. The spectrum is very different from that recorded on the one hand for a normal spine and, on the other, for a tumor arising from the vertebral body of a patient.
