Brain abscess and necrotic brain tumor: discrimination with proton MR spectroscopy and diffusion-weighted imaging

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Discriminating pyogenic brain abscesses from cystic or necrotic tumors is sometimes difficult with CT or MR imaging. We compared findings of proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) with those of diffusion-weighted imaging to determine which technique was more effective for this differential diagnosis. METHODS: Fourteen patients (necrotic or cystic tumor [n = 7]; pyogenic abscess [n = 7]) who underwent 1.5-T (1)H-MRS and diffusion-weighted imaging and had findings of ring-shaped enhancement after contrast agent administration were enrolled in this study. Diffusion-weighted imaging was performed with a single-shot spin-echo echo-planar pulse sequence (b = 1000 s/mm(2)). The apparent diffusion coefficient and ratio were also measured. RESULTS: Spectra for two patients were unacceptable because of either poor shimming conditions or contamination from neighboring fat. Spectra in three of five patients with abscess had lactate, amino acids (including valine, alanine, and leucine), and acetate peaks; one of the three spectra had an additional peak of succinate. In one patient with abscess treated by antibiotics, only lactate and lipid peaks were detected. Spectra for four of seven patients with cystic or necrotic tumors showed only lactate peaks. Lactate and lipids were found in three patients with tumors. Hyperintensity was seen in all the pyogenic abscess cavities and hypointensity in all the cystic and necrotic tumors on diffusion-weighted images. CONCLUSION: (1)H-MRS and diffusion-weighted imaging are useful for differentiating brain abscess from brain tumor, but the latter requires less time and is more accurate than is (1)H-MRS. (1)H-MRS is probably more limited in cases of smaller peripheral lesions, skull base lesions, and treated abscesses.

Breathhold abdominal and thoracic proton MR spectroscopy at 3T.

The clinical utility of proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) has been well demonstrated in the brain, prostate, and breast. The aims of this work were to investigate 1) the feasibility of abdominal and thoracic (1)H-MRS at 3T, 2) the benefits of breathholding to MRS in these regions, and 3) the utility of multiple breathhold averaging for MRS. Breathholding either eliminated or markedly reduced phase and frequency shifts and outer voxel contamination that were associated with the motion of the abdomen and the thorax during breathing. Breathholding was found to be essential to spectroscopic investigation of the thorax. Spectra of renal cell carcinoma metastases in the abdomen and thorax were obtained utilizing multiple breathhold averaging. These spectra exhibited a resonance at 3.2 ppm attributed to the trimethylamine moiety of choline metabolites. The results of this study suggest a practical strategy for implementation of (1)H-MRS in the body.

Oral administration of choline does not affect metabolic characteristics of gliomas and normal-appearing white matter, as detected with single-voxel 1H-MRS at 1.5 T

Introduction  The present study was done for evaluation of the possible influence of the oral administration of choline on metabolic characteristics of gliomas detected with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H-MRS). Materials and methods  Thirty patients (22 men and eight women; mean age 38 ± 15 years) with suspicious intracranial gliomas underwent single-voxel long-echo (TR 2,000 ms, TE 136 ms, 128–256 acquisitions) ¹H-MRS of the tumor, peritumoral brain tissue, and distant normal-appearing white matter before and several hours (median, 3 h; range, 1.2–3.7 h) after ingestion of choline with prescribed dose of 50 mg/kg (median actual dose, 52 mg/kg; range, 48–78 mg/kg). Investigations were done using 1.5 T clinical magnetic resonance imager. The volume of the rectangular ¹H-MRS voxel was either 3.4 or 8 cm³. At the time of both spectroscopic examinations, similar voxels’ positioning and size and technical parameters of ¹H-MRS were used. Surgery was done in 27 patients within 1 to 68 days thereafter. In all cases, more than 80% resection of the neoplasm was attained. Results  There were 12 low-grade gliomas and 15 high-grade gliomas. MIB-1 index varied from 0% to 51.7% (median, 13.8%). Statistical analysis did not disclose significant differences of any investigated metabolic parameter of the tumor, peritumoral brain tissue and distant normal-appearing white matter between two spectroscopic examinations. Conclusion  Single-voxel ¹H-MRS at 1.5 T could not detect significant changes of the metabolic characteristics of gliomas, peritumoral brain tissue, and distant normal-appearing white matter after oral administration of choline.
