摘要

Objectives

To leverage a combination of cortical high-flow sign on arterial spin labeling (ASL) and cystathionine measurement using 1H-MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) to distinguish oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted (O_IDHm-codel) from astrocytoma, IDH-mutant (A_IDHm-noncodel).

Materials and methods

We implemented pseudo-continuous ASL technique (post-labeling delay = 2000 ms) using a 3.0-T MRI scanner. Relative perfusion maps were generated by subtracting paired labeled images from control images. 1H-MRS data were acquired by using the single-voxel point-resolved spectroscopy sequence (PRESS) sequence (TR = 2000 ms, TE = 97 ms, NEX = 128, volume of interest = 203 mm3). Our study included cases with a Cramér-Rao Lower Bound of cystathionine levels at 2.7 ppm that were below 50%. The presence or absence of cortical high-flow sign and the estimated concentration of cystathionine were compared between A_IDHm-noncodel and O_IDHm-codel. The receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of each parameter, as well as the combination of both.

Results

The cortical high-flow sign was identified more frequent in O_IDHm-codel (7/12, 58.3%) than in A_IDHm-noncodel (3/18, 16.7%; p = 0.018). The cystathionine levels in O_IDHm-codel (1.50 ± 0.63 mM) was significantly higher than in A_IDHm-noncodel (0.85 ± 0.24 mM; p = 0.001). The area under the curve for distinguishing O_IDHm-codel from A_IDHm-noncodel using the presence of cortical high-flow sign, cystathionine levels, and their combination was 0.708 (0.509–0.908), 0.750 (0.553–0.947), and 0.875 (0.737–1.000), respectively.

Conclusion

The presence of cortical high-flow sign on ASL, along with elevated cystathionine levels measured by 1H-MRS, could differentiate O_IDHm-codel from A_IDHm-noncodel.
