abstract = {Sodium MRI is a promising method for assessing the
metabolic properties of brain tumours. In a recent study, a
strong relationship between semi‐quantitative
abnormalities in sodium MRI and the mutational status of the
isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme (IDH) with untreated
cerebral gliomas was observed. Here, sodium relaxometry in
brain tumour tissue was investigated in relation to
molecular markers in order to reveal quantitative sodium
tissue parameters and the differences between healthy tissue
and brain tumour. The previous semi‐quantitative approach
is extended by use of suitable relaxometry methods
accompanied by numerical simulation to achieve detailed
quantitative analysis of intra‐ and extracellular sodium
concentration using an enhanced SISTINA sequence at 4 T.
Using optimised techniques, biexponential sodium relaxation
times in tumour (T* 2f, T* 2s) and in healthy contralateral
brain tissue (T* 2f,CL, T* 2s,CL) were estimated in 10
patients, along with intracellular sodium molar fractions
(χ, χCL), volume fractions (η, ηCL) and concentrations
(ρin, ρin,CL). The total sodium tissue concentrations
(ρT, ρT,CL) were also estimated. The ratios T *2f/T *2f,CL
(P = .05), η/ηCL (P = .02) and χ/χCL (P = .02) were
significantly lower in IDH mutated than in IDH wildtype
gliomas (n = 4 and n = 5 patients, respectively). The
Wilcoxon rank‐sum test was used to compare sodium MRI
parameters in patients with and without IDH mutation. Thus,
quantitative analysis of relaxation rates, intra‐ and
extracellular sodium concentrations, intracellular molar and
volume fractions based on enhanced SISTINA confirmed a
relationship between abnormalities in sodium parameters and
the IDH mutational status in cerebral gliomas, hence
catering for the potential to provide further insights into
the status of the disease.},
