Using weighted mean of two tilted whole brain 3D-1H EPSI
acquisitions acquired in 15 healthy controls, we built
metabolic templates of NAA, Glux, tCr, Cho and m-Ins
spatially normalized in the MNI atlas. Similar data
obtained in 8 RRMS patients allowed to conducting
multi-metabolite statistical mapping analyses to
evidence patterns of metabolic abnormalities involving
decreases in NAA, Glux and Cho, as well as increases in
tCr and m-Ins in line with neuronal dysfunction,
activated microglia and cellular loss. These data
support the promising contribution of statistical
mapping analyses applied to whole brain 3D-MRSI to study
pathophysiological processes associated to MS.
