A comparison of 2‐hydroxyglutarate detection at 3 and 7 T with long‐TE semi‐LASER
5 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abnormally high levels of the 'oncometabolite' 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) occur in many grade II and III gliomas, and correlate with mutations in the genes of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) isoforms. In vivo measurement of 2-HG in patients, using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), has largely been carried out at 3 T, yet signal overlap continues to pose a challenge for 2-HG detection. To combat this, several...
