Amide proton transfer (APT) and the Nuclear Overhauser
Enhancement (NOE) have emerged as potential new imaging
contrasts. Here we applied these techniques on a glioma
model in rats. Maps of the magnetization transfer rate,
both at -3.5 ppm and +3.5 ppm, revealed a reduction of
the MTR in the tumor. NOE-CEST however revealed
additional information about the tumor boundaries. Thus,
NOE-CEST MRI may confer specific benefits in the
detection and characterization of glioblastoma in
patients.
