Adding the NAA-to-creatine ratio or choline-to-creatine ratio did not affect the accuracy of differentiation. Neoplastic lesions had lower NAA concentrations and higher choline concentrations than inflammatory lesions, resulting in a lower NAA-to-choline ratio, lower NAA-to-creatine ratio, and higher choline-to-creatine ratio for neoplasia relative to inflammation. No significant metabolite differences between meningiomas and gliomas were detected.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014<jats:sup>1<\/jats:sup>H-MRS was effective for differentiating inflammatory lesions from neoplastic lesions. Metabolite alterations for <jats:sup>1<\/jats:sup>H-MRS in neoplasia and inflammation in dogs were similar to changes described for humans.
