Glioblastoma tumorigenesis and its effect on cerebral
metabolism were studied longitudinally in a rat model of
human glioma initiation cells (GIC). In vivo 1H MRS
spectra were measured to characterize brain metabolism
and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) acquisitions allowed
to visualize morphological changes between healthy and
malignant tissue. Both DTI and 1H MRS indicated the
onset of the tumor at similar time point, yet at this
early stage the differences between the tumors and the
contralateral hemisphere were more evident in the
spectroscopic data.
