Spectroscopic Evaluation of Glioma Grading at 3T: The Combined Role of Short and Long TE

Purpose. To evaluate the diagnostic value of 3T 1H-MRS in grading cerebral gliomas using short and long echo times. Methods. 1H-MRS was performed on 71 patients with untreated cerebral gliomas. Metabolite ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, Cho/NAA, and mI/Cr were calculated for short and long TE and compared...
