2-hydroxyglutarate in IDH1/2 mutated tumors is of clinical interest and can be measured in-vivo by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Goal of this work was to compare results obtained using the standard reduced flip angle refocusing pulses with results using broadband refocusing pulses. Sensitivity improvement was observed in phantoms and demonstrated in vivo.
