Detection of neurometabolic alterations in stroke patients from acute to subacute stages could provide useful information for brain tissue salvage therapy. Fast high-resolution 3D ¹H-MRSI by SPICE has previously provided nearly whole-brain neurometabolic mapping in acute stroke patients. In this pilot study, we investigated the alterations of neurometabolites in a longitudinal cohort of ischemic stroke patients. Our preliminary results showed observable changes of different neurometabolites in different regions within the hypoperfused tissue of stroke patients from acute to subacute stages. Our study may lay a foundation for further investigation of temporal changes of neurometabolic biomarkers during stroke progression.
