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

Abstract

An advantage was found in using short TE over long TE 1H-MRS in the discrimination of low versus high grade gliomas. Moreover, the results suggested that the peritumoral area of gliomas may be more valuable in predicting glioma grade than using only the intratumoral area.
