Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer MRI in Central Nervous System Tumours on a 1.5T MR-Linac

CONCLUSION: CEST MRI using a 1.5T MR-Linac was demonstrated to be feasible for in vivo imaging of CNS tumours. CEST images showed tumour/white-matter contrast, temporal CEST signal changes, and associations with tumour grade. These results show promise for the eventual goal of using metabolic imaging to inform the design of adaptive radiotherapy protocols.PMID:34280403 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2021.07.010
