Abstract:	Background: Proton Magnetic Resonance (MR) Spectroscopy (MRS) is a widely available technique for those clinical centres equipped with MR scanners. Unlike the rest of MR-based techniques, MRS yields not images but spectra of metabolites in the tissues. In pathological situations, the MRS profile changes and this has been particularly described for brain tumours. However, radiologists are frequently not familiar to the interpretation of MRS data and for this reason, the usefulness of decision-support systems (DSS) in MRS data analysis has been explored. Results: This work presents the INTERPRET DSS version 3. 0, analysing the improvements made from its first release in 2002. Version 3. 0 is aimed to be a program that 1st, can be easily used with acted to help in the categorisation of MR Spectra from abnormal brain masses.
