Intracranial space occupying lesions can be infective or tumour. There are various advanced Magnetic resonance imaging techniques like perfusion, diffusion and proton spectroscopy which can differentiate between them. However, (31) Phosphorus spectroscopy studies the energy status and the metabolism pattern of various tissues and can be used potentially to differentiate between them depending on their Metabolism pattern. Thus, we aimed to study energy status of various intracranial lesions and try to differentiate between them including grades of gliomas.
