In Vivo 2-Hydroxyglutarate Monitoring With Edited MR Spectroscopy for the Follow-up of

D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) characterizesMEGA-PRESS data were acquired in 71 patients with glioma (24 untreated, 47 treated) on a 3 T system. Eighteen patients were followed during cytotoxic (n = 12) or targeted (n = 6) therapy. 2HG was measured in tumor samples using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GCMS).MEGA-PRESS detected 2HG with a sensitivity of 95% in untreated patients and 62% in treated patients. Sensitivity depended on tumor volume (27 cmMEGA-PRESS edited MRS allows in vivo monitoring of 2-hydroxyglutarate, confirming efficacy of
