1. To know the basics of MR Spectroscopy 2. To highlight the techniques of MR spectroscopy 3. To discuss changes in the spectra in intracranial tuberculoma and their differentiation from neoplastic lesions 4. To explain the usefulness of MR spectroscopy in diagnosis, follow-up and management of tuberculoma  

• Background of MR spectroscopy • Normal MR spectrum and importance of different metabolite peak • Technique of MR spectroscopy on 3.0 T MR • Importance of short TE and long TE for demonstration of lipid peak • Spectroscopy findings in intracranial tuberculoma • Sample cases with diagnostic queries • Differentiation of pyogenic abscess and neoplastic lesions from tuberculoma using MR spectroscopy
