Levels of choline ‐containing compounds in normal liver and liver metastases of colorectal cancer as recorded by 1H MRS

ConclusionAn increased tCho content was not observed in1H MR spectra of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer, compared with normal liver. This may be due to the background of a high tCho signal in spectra of normal liver or to an intrinsic lower tCho content in these tumors, but is most likely the result of necrosis in metastatic tumor tissue.
