We have recently initiated a 7T MRS glioma consortium, intending to bring together experts in the field to discuss pitfalls, promises, and potential research avenues of MRS in gliomas. During the "GlioMaRS-NET Workshop" in 2020, we tested the efficacy of UHF MRS for predicting the molecular characteristics by visual inspection by conducting a survey with a set of previously acquired UHF spectra from glioma patients. There was a high concordance in diagnostic interpretation of spectra for the identification of IDH-mutant gliomas versus IDH-wildtype gliomas.
