Synopsis

MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) can map specific metabolic alterations of glioma brain tumors. Increasing structural details for spatial distribution of metabolites is needed to probe tumor margins and heterogeneity with higher sensitivity and specificity. Here we evaluate the performance of ECCENTRIC, a newly developed non-Cartesian compressed sense MRSI method, to realize fast and high-resolution metabolic imaging at 7T ultra-high field in glioma patients. This is expected to improve diagnosis, prognostication, planning, guidance, and response assessment of treatment in glioma patients and other brain diseases.
