Synopsis
We compared metabolic ratio maps of tCho, Gln, and Gly to tNAA and tCr derived from high-resolution 7T MRSI to clinical amino acid PET in 24 glioma patients. We achieved the highest DICE coefficient of 0.66±0.25 for Gln/tNAA, and further defined hot spot volumes and center of intensity distances between PET and MRSI. Overall, we showed that the information content of 7T MRSI results in a better correspondence to PET as clinical gold standard than previous MRSI studies.
