Summary
To learn if MRS can effectively assess spinal cord lesions.
Detailed Description
Primary Objective: Establish the feasibility and spectrum of MRS for adult patients while mapping the total spine spectrum at short TEs to allow for future comparison with patients to assess spinal cord lesions malignant potential and grade. Secondary Objective: Test success of the spectrum by implementing the protocol on 3 low volume LMD receiving LMD receiving CSI. This will allow us to test reproducibility of the protocol and test effect of radiation on spinal cord at different time frames. This will serve as secondary data for subsequent trials targeting functional statues after radiation and tumor grading predictability of MRS.
