Abstract
PURPOSE Currently, there remains a scarcity of established preoperative tests to accurately predict the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status in clinical scenarios, with limited research has explored the potential synergistic diagnostic performance among metabolite, perfusion, and diffusion parameters. To address this issue, we aimed to develop an imaging protocol that integrated 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) by comprehensively assessing metabolic, cellular, and angiogenic changes caused by IDH mutations, and explored the diagnostic efficiency of this imaging protocol for predicting IDH mutation status in clinical scenarios. METHODS Patients who met the inclusion criteria were categorized into two groups: IDH-wild type (IDH-WT) group and IDH-mutant (IDH-MT) group. Subsequently, we quantified the 2HG concentration, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient (rADC), the relative true diffusion coefficient value (rD), the relative pseudo-diffusion coefficient (rD*) and the relative perfusion fraction value (rf). Intergroup differences were estimated using t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Finally, we performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and DeLong's test to evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of individual parameters and their combinations. RESULTS 64 patients (female, 21; male, 43; age, 47.0 ± 13.7 years) were enrolled. Compared with IDH-WT gliomas, IDH-MT gliomas had higher 2HG concentration, rADC and rD (P < 0.001), and lower rD* (P = 0.013). The ROC curve demonstrated that 2HG + rD + rD* exhibited the highest areas under curve (AUC) value (0.967, 95%CI 0.889-0.996) for discriminating IDH mutation status. Compared with each individual parameter, the predictive efficiency of 2HG + rADC + rD* and 2HG + rD + rD* shows a statistically significant enhancement (DeLong's test: P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The integration of 2HG MRS and IVIM significantly improves the diagnostic efficiency for predicting IDH mutation status in clinical scenarios.

Optimization of the flip angles of narrow-band editing pulses in J-difference edited MRS of lactate at 3T. Magn Reson Med 2024; 91:886-895.

Abstract
PURPOSE Application of highly selective editing RF pulses provides a means of minimizing co-editing of contaminants in J-difference MRS (MEGA), but it causes reduction in editing yield. We examined the flip angles (FAs) of narrow-band editing pulses to maximize the lactate edited signal with minimal co-editing of threonine. METHODS The effect of editing-pulse FA on the editing performance was examined, with numerical and phantom analyses, for bandwidths of 17.6-300 Hz in MEGA-PRESS editing of lactate at 3T. The FA and envelope of 46 ms Gaussian editing pulses were tailored to maximize the lactate edited signal at 1.3 ppm and minimize co-editing of threonine. The optimized editing-pulse FA MEGA scheme was tested in brain tumor patients. RESULTS Simulation and phantom data indicated that the optimum FA of MEGA editing pulses is progressively larger than 180° as the editing-pulse bandwidth decreases. For 46 ms long 17.6 Hz bandwidth Gaussian pulses and other given sequence parameters, the lactate edited signal was maximum at the first and second editing-pulse FAs of 241° and 249°, respectively. The edit-on and difference-edited lactate peak areas of the optimized FA MEGA were greater by 43% and 25% compared to the 180°-FA MEGA, respectively. In-vivo data confirmed the simulation and phantom results. The lesions of the brain tumor patients showed elevated lactate and physiological levels of threonine. CONCLUSION The lactate MEGA editing yield is significantly increased with editing-pulse FA much larger than 180° when the editing-pulse bandwidth is comparable to the lactate quartet frequency width.

MRI-Based Radiomics Combined with Deep Learning for Distinguishing IDH-Mutant WHO Grade 4 Astrocytomas from IDH-Wild-Type Glioblastomas. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15030951.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the potential of quantitative radiomic data extracted from conventional MR images in discriminating IDH-mutant grade 4 astrocytomas from IDH-wild-type glioblastomas (GBMs). A cohort of 57 treatment-naïve patients with IDH-mutant grade 4 astrocytomas (n = 23) and IDH-wild-type GBMs (n = 34) underwent anatomical imaging on a 3T MR system with standard parameters. Post-contrast T1-weighted and T2-FLAIR images were co-registered. A semi-automatic segmentation approach was used to generate regions of interest (ROIs) from different tissue components of neoplasms. A total of 1050 radiomic features were extracted from each image. The data were split randomly into training and testing sets. A deep learning-based data augmentation method (CTGAN) was implemented to synthesize 200 datasets from the training sets. A total of 18 classifiers were used to distinguish two genotypes of grade 4 astrocytomas. From generated data using 80% training set, the best discriminatory power was obtained from core tumor regions overlaid on post-contrast T1 using the K-best feature selection algorithm and a Gaussian naïve Bayes classifier (AUC = 0.93, accuracy = 0.92, sensitivity = 1, specificity = 0.86, PR_AUC = 0.92). Similarly, high diagnostic performances were obtained from original and generated data using 50% and 30% training sets. Our findings suggest that conventional MR imaging-based radiomic features combined with machine/deep learning methods may be valuable in discriminating IDH-mutant grade 4 astrocytomas from IDH-wild-type GBMs.

Validation Study for Non-Invasive Prediction of IDH Mutation Status in Patients with Glioma Using In Vivo 1H-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Machine Learning. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14112762. [PMID: 35681741 PMCID: PMC9179368 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14112762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) affects glioma cell metabolism in multiple ways. Mutation of IDH is not only indicative of the presence of astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma but it also comes with a better prognosis and constitutes a promising therapeutic target. Therefore, determination of IDH mutation status is essential in clinical practice. In most patients, tissue can be obtained by resection or biopsy to determine IDH status histologically. However, in some cases, this is not possible for technical reasons. We recently showed in a small cohort of patients that non-invasive determination of IDH mutation status using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) at 3.0 Tesla (T) together with machine learning techniques is feasible in a standard clinical setting and with acceptable effort. Here, we demonstrate that our approach showed comparably good results in sensitivity (82.6%) and specificity (72.7%) in a larger validation cohort employing 1H-MRS at 1.5 T in a retrospective, distinct setting. We concluded that our method works well regardless of the magnetic field strength and scanner used, and thus, may improve patient care. Abstract The isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status is an indispensable prerequisite for diagnosis of glioma (astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma) according to the WHO classification of brain tumors 2021 and is a potential therapeutic target. Usually, immunohistochemistry followed by sequencing of tumor tissue is performed for this purpose. In clinical routine, however, non-invasive determination of IDH mutation status is desirable in cases where tumor biopsy is not possible and for monitoring neuro-oncological therapies. In a previous publication, we presented reliable prediction of IDH mutation status employing proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) on a 3.0 Tesla (T) scanner and machine learning in a prospective cohort of 34 glioma patients. Here, we validated this approach in an independent cohort of 67 patients, for which 1H-MR spectra were acquired at 1.5 T between 2002 and 2007, using the same data analysis approach. Despite different technical conditions, a sensitivity of 82.6% (95% CI, 61.2–95.1%) and a specificity of 72.7% (95% CI, 57.2–85.0%) could be achieved. We concluded that our 1H-MRS based approach can be established in a routine clinical setting with affordable effort and time, independent of technical conditions employed. Therefore, the method provides a non-invasive tool for determining IDH status that is well-applicable in an everyday clinical setting.

Abstract
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) provides a non-invasive biochemical profile of brain tumors. The conventional 1H-MRS methods present a few challenges mainly related to limited spatial coverage and low spatial and spectral resolutions. In the recent past, the advent and development of more sophisticated metabolic imaging and spectroscopic sequences have revolutionized the field of neuro-oncologic metabolomics. In this review article, we will briefly describe the scientific premises of three-dimensional echoplanar spectroscopic imaging (3D-EPSI), two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COSY), and chemical exchange saturation technique (CEST) MRI techniques. Several published studies have shown how these emerging techniques can significantly impact the management of patients with glioma by determining histologic grades, molecular profiles, planning treatment strategies, and assessing the therapeutic responses. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the potential clinical applications of these techniques in studying brain tumor metabolism.

Abstract
PURPOSE J-Difference editing (MEGA) provides an effective spectroscopic means of selectively measuring low-concentration metabolites having weakly coupled spins. The fractional inphase and antiphase coherences are determined by the radiofrequency (RF) pulses and inter-RF pulse intervals of the sequence. We examined the timings of the spectrally selective editing 180° pulses (E180) in MEGA-PRESS to maximize the edited signal amplitude in lactate at 3T. METHODS The time evolution of the lactate spin coherences was analytically and numerically calculated for non-volume localized and single-voxel localized MEGA sequences. Single-voxel localized MEGA-PRESS simulations and phantom experiments were conducted for echo time (TE) 60-160 ms and for all possible integer-millisecond timings of the E180 pulses. Optimized E180 timings of 144, 103, and 109 ms TEs, tailored with simulation and phantom data, were tested in brain tumor patients in vivo. Lactate signals, broadened to singlet linewidths (~6 Hz), were compared between simulation, phantom, and in vivo data. RESULTS Theoretical and experimental data indicated consistently that the MEGA-edited signal amplitude and width are sensitive to the E180 timings. In volume-localized MEGA, the lactate peak amplitudes in E180-on and difference spectra were maximized at specific E180 timings for individual TEs, largely due to the chemical-shift displacement effects. The E180 timings for maximum lactate peak amplitude were different from those of maximum inphase coherence in in vivo linewidth situations. CONCLUSION In in vivo MEGA editing, the E180 pulse timings can be effectively used for manipulating the inphase and antiphase coherences and increasing the edited signal amplitude, following TE optimization.

Abstract
Dysregulation of DNA damage response and repair (DDR) contributes to oncogenesis, yet also generates the potential for targeted cancer therapies by exploiting synthetic lethal interactions. Oncometabolites, small intermediates of metabolism overproduced in certain cancers, have emerged as a new mechanism of DDR modulation through their effects on multiple DNA repair pathways. Increasing evidence suggests that oncometabolite-induced DDR defects may offer the opportunity for tumor-selective chemo- and radio-sensitization. Here we review the biology of oncometabolites and diverse mechanisms by which they impact DDR, with a focus on emerging therapeutic strategies and ongoing clinical trials targeting oncometabolite-induced DDR defects in cancer.
