We explored the imaging features of PCNSL using APT
imaging of endogenous mobile proteins and peptides at 3
Tesla. Results showed that the PCNSL tumor core had
significantly higher APTW signal intensities, compared
to adjacent peritumoral edema and normal-appearing white
matter. The PCNSL tumor core had significantly lower
APTW signal intensities, intensity distribution, and
total CEST signal intensities, as well as significantly
higher MTR than the HGG core. APT imaging could provide
additional diagnostic information to differentiate PCNSL
from HGG non-invasively.
