1. Optimal MR-sequence for IDH-typing (Time Frame - 48 months): Finding the most optimal (2HG-edited, radial kspace-sampled) EPSI MRSI/CEST technique for the initial diagnosis of gliomas with respect to IDH-typing. Pre-operative knowledge of the IDH-type is important information for further neurosurgical treatment.
Secondary outcome:
1. Spectral/CEST pattern (Time Frame - 48 months): The retrospective analysis of tumor affected tissue volumes identified by 3D-MRSI/CEST image data with the factual resected volumes during 5-ALA guided complete tumor resection interventions enable to find the relationship between the spectral or CEST pattern and the location of the glioma.
Sequence optimization (Healthy Control Group 1 (10 Persons)) The MEGA-based editing sequences as well as the SLOW-EPSI sequence will be applied to this group using a 3T Prisma and a 7T Terra scanner. Data will be used for optimization of the pulse sequences.
Aim: find those sequence parameters to obtain best spectral quality data (SNR, spatial resolution versus measurement time).
Healthy Control Group 2 (15 Persons) The best performing sequence which will be applied to this group using a 7T Terra scanner. Data will be used normative data for glutamate/glutamine and GABA levels in healthy controls.
Aim: normal reference data for future studies.
Patient Group 1: Comparison of 5 different spectral editing sequences (30 Patients) Two editing pulse sequence types will be applied to this group at a 3T Prisma and a 7T Terra scanner. The sequences being compared are MEGA-semiLASER-SVS, MEGA-semiLASER based MRSI (on both 3T and 7T) and SLOW-EPSI (on 7T only).
Patient Group 1: Comparison of 4 different CEST sequences (30 Patients) Two different CEST sequence types will be applied to this group at a 3T Prisma and a 7T Terra scanner. The CEST performance will be compared between 3T and 7T, as well which of the two types in the best on each scanner.
Aim: which of the four sequence predicts the IDH-mutation status best.
MR-scans using a 3T Prisma and a 7T Terra scanner (Siemens, Erlangen Germany) (Examined are fast MRSI sequences and CEST sequences.): The MR-scans performed at 3T and 7T are performed to evaluate whether high field MR-examinations bring an advantage to the patient in determining the IDH-status of the glioma. Two MRSI/CEST sequences will be tested against each other.
