The present work reports first longitudinal MRS imaging
of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) measures in brain tumors
using optimized PRESS TE = 97 ms at 3T. Metabolites
measures were measured in six clinically stable brain
tumors, over a period of 8 18 months. The coefficient
of variance (CoV) of 2HG was 1.1% over six subjects and
22 scans. The CoV of tCho, Glu and Gln were 3.5%, 11.1%
and 10.3%, respectively. The mean 2HG levels over the
tumor region remained within 0.2 to 0.8 mM across the
time points.
