Peak integrals derived from the 0.5 μT z-spectrum and SAFARI parameters in glioma patients (N=8) with standard errors. (†) represent statistically significant differences between tumor and contralateral regions. No statistically significant differences were found between the two tumor regions, or between tumor and contralateral for the peak integrals and the MTRSAFARI parameters.
