Figure 8.
Pre-operative MRSI data acquired from a 72-year-old female with a biopsy confirmed IDH-2 mutant oligodendroglioma affecting the left temporal lobe. To assess 2-HG concentration, the TE was changed from 32 to 110 ms. All other acquisition parameters were consistent with those reported above. 2-HG:tCr, tCho:tCr, and NAA:tCr ratio maps show marked local disturbance in normal ratios in the affected area. In metabolite images, non-brain tissue was masked based on the water image.
