Abstract INTRODUCTION The goal of this study was to characterize progressive and pseudoprogressive GBM using multi-parametric hyperpolarized (HP)-13C / 1H MRI. METHODS Dynamic HP-13C MRI was acquired from 13 patients with progressive GBM [patients (scans): 2(3) IDH-mutant; 11(13) IDH-wildtype] and 2 IDH-wildtype patients (3 scans) demonstrating pseudo-progression following intravenous injection of HP [1-13C]pyruvate. Frequency-selective echo-planar imaging (3s temporal resolution, 3.38 cm3 spatial resolution) captured [1-13C]pyruvate metabolism to [1-13C]lactate and 13C-bicarbonate in the brain. Dynamic 13C data were kinetically modeled to obtain the pyruvate-to-lactate conversion rate constant k PL and temporally summed to calculate 13C-metabolite percentiles and ratios (linearly interpolated 2x in-plane). 1H imaging included T2, post-Gd T1, perfusion (nCBV, %recovery), diffusion (ADC), and lactate-edited spectroscopy (CNI, choline-to-NAA index; 1H-lactate). The normal-appearing white matter (NAWM), non-enhancing lesion (NEL), and contrast-enhancing lesion (CEL) were segmented from 1H images. 13C-resolution masks were iteratively applied on a voxel-wise basis to evaluate 1H imaging parameters within each ROI and multi-parametric data were collectively evaluated using a mixed effects model in R. RESULTS Progressive IDH-mutant GBM compared to wildtype counterparts displayed increased perfusion %recovery (p < 0.001) and k PL (p < 0.01), together with reduced 1H-lactate (p < 0.001) and pyruvate percentile (p < 0.01), in the T2 lesion. Among IDH-wildtype progressive GBM, the CEL was distinguished from NEL/NAWM by increased nCBV (p < 0.05/0.001), 1H-lactate (p < 0.05/0.001); and decreased bicarbonate / lactate (p < 0.05/0.001). The CEL and NEL were collectively distinguished from NAWM by elevated CNI (p < 0.001/0.001), ADC (p < 0.05/0.001), pyruvate percentile (p < 0.001/0.001), lactate percentile (p < 0.001/0.001), and relative lactate / pyruvate (p < 0.001/0.05). Psuedo-progressive IDH-wildtype GBM displayed lower k PL (T2 Lesion; p < 0.01) and nCBV (CEL; p < 0.01) compared to progressive GBM. CONCLUSION HP-13C parameters can potentially augment proton imaging and demonstrated Warburg-associated metabolic alterations.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Detecting radiological response or resistance to treatment in patients with GBM is difficult with conventional MRI. In response to this challenge, hyperpolarized carbon-13 (HP-13C) MRI techniques were developed to probe real-time [1-13C]pyruvate metabolism. METHODS Dynamic HP-13C MRI was acquired pre-operatively from 6 patientswith recurrent GBM following intravenous injection of HP [1-13C]pyruvate. Five were confirmed with tumor progression and one had treatment effects without progression. Frequency-selective echo-planar imaging (8 slices, 3s temporal resolution, 3.38 cm3 spatial resolution, 60s acquisition) captured [1-13C]pyruvate metabolism to [1-13C]lactate and [1-13C]bicarbonate in the brain. Proton imaging included 3-D FLAIR, T1-weighted post-Gd IRSPGR, and spectroscopy. Carbon-13 voxels with non-enhancing lesion (NEL) or contrast-enhancing lesion (CEL) were identified for subsequent analysis. Temporally-summed HP-13C metabolite data within the CEL and NEL were evaluated using the pyruvate-to-lactate ratio; a modified ratio that takes into account vascular contributions of pyruvate; and parameter percentile ranks over the entire brain. Proton spectroscopy data were processed to obtain choline-to-NAA index (CNI) maps, which provide z-scores of relative tissue abnormality. RESULTS All of the anatomic lesions displayed abnormal CNI with maximum values of 3.22-6.35. The 5 patients with CEL lesions demonstrated 87th– 98thpercentile levels of pyruvate in the brain; and 95th-100thpercentile levels of lactate in 4 progressed patients and 60thpercentile in the patient presenting with treatment effects. For the patient with an exclusively non-enhancing lesion, percentile levels of pyruvate and lactate were 66thand 88thin the brain, respectively. The mean+/-SD percentile of the lactate-to-pyruvate and modified ratios were 75+/-22, 86+/-23 and 60+/-3, 71+/-12 in the progressed and non-progressed patients, respectively. CONCLUSION These data importantly demonstrate aberrant [1-13C]pyruvate metabolism in patients with GBM in both contrast-enhancing and non-enhancing lesions. Ongoing studies will further characterize the utility of HP imaging markers.

Background Readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (RS-EPI) could improve the imaging quality of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in various organs. However, whether it could improve the imaging quality and diagnostic performance for the patients with orbital tumors is still unknown. Purpose To compare the image quality and diagnostic performance of RS-EPI DWI with that of conventional single-shot EPI (SS-EPI) DWI in patients with orbital tumors. Material and Methods SS-EPI and RS-EPI DW images of 32 patients with pathologically diagnosed orbital tumors were retrospectively analyzed. Qualitative imaging parameters (imaging sharpness, geometric distortion, ghosting artifacts, and overall imaging quality) and quantitative imaging parameters (apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC], signal-to-noise ratio [SNR], contrast, and contrast-to-noise ratio [CNR]) were assessed by two independent radiologists, and compared between SS-EPI and RS-EPI DWI. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to determine the diagnostic value of ADC in differentiating malignant from benign orbital tumors. Results RS-EPI DW imaging produced less geometric distortion and ghosting artifacts, and better imaging sharpness and overall imaging quality than SS-EPI DWI (for all, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, RS-EPI DWI produced significantly lower SNR ( P < 0.001) and ADC ( P < 0.001), and higher contrast ( P < 0.001) than SS-EPI DWI, while producing no difference in CNR ( P = 0.137). There was no significant difference on the diagnostic performance between SS-EPI and RS-EPI DWI, when using ADC as the differentiating index ( P = 0.529). Conclusion Compared with SS-EPI, RS-EPI DWI provided significantly better imaging quality and comparable diagnostic performance in differentiating malignant from benign orbital tumors.

AbstractWith continuing advances in MRI techniques and the emergence of higher static field strengths, submillimetre spatial resolution is now possible in human functional imaging experiments. This has opened up the way for more specific types of analysis, for example investigation of the cortical layers of the brain. With this increased specificity, it is important to correct for the geometrical distortions that are inherent to echo planar imaging (EPI). Inconveniently, higher field strength also increases these distortions. The resulting displacements can easily amount to several millimetres and as such pose a serious problem for laminar analysis. We here present a method, Recursive Boundary Registration (RBR), that corrects distortions between an anatomical and an EPI volume. By recursively applying Boundary Based Registration (BBR) on progressively smaller subregions of the brain we generate an accurate whole-brain registration, based on the grey-white matter contrast. Explicit care is taken that the deformation does not break the topology of the cortical surface, which is an important requirement for several of the most common subsequent steps in laminar analysis. We show that RBR obtains submillimetre accuracy with respect to a manually distorted gold standard, and apply it to a set of human in vivo scans to show a clear increase in spacial specificity. RBR further automates the process of non-linear distortion correction. This is an important step towards routine human laminar fMRI. We provide the code for the RBR algorithm, as well as a variety of functions to better investigate registration performance in a public GitHub repository, https://github.com/TimVanMourik/OpenFmriAnalysis, under the GPL 3.0 license.

The fusiform face area (FFA) is known to play a pivotal role in face processing. The FFA is located in the ventral region, at the base of the brain, through which large blood vessels run. The location of the FFA via functional MRI (fMRI) may be influenced by these large blood vessels. Responses of large blood vessels may not exactly correspond to neuronal activity in a target area, because they may be diluted and influenced by inflow effects. In this study, we investigated the effects of large blood vessels in the FFA, that is, whether the FFA includes large blood vessels and/or whether inflow signals contribute to fMRI signals of the FFA. For this purpose, we used susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) sequences to visualize large blood vessels and dual-echo gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (GE-EPI) to measure inflow effects. These results showed that the location and response signals of the FFA were not influenced by large blood vessels or inflow effects, although large blood vessels were located near the FFA. Therefore, the data from the FFA obtained by individual analysis were robust to large blood vessels but leaving a warning that the data obtained by group analysis may be prone to large blood vessels.
