Glioblastoma tumorigenesis and its effect on cerebral metabolism were studied longitudinally in a rat model of human glioma initiation cells (GIC). In vivo 1H MRS spectra were measured to characterize brain metabolism and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) acquisitions allowed to visualize morphological changes between healthy and malignant tissue. Both DTI and 1H MRS indicated the onset of the tumor at similar time point, yet at this early stage the differences between the tumors and the contralateral hemisphere were more evident in the spectroscopic data.
