✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Tumorous and contralateral rat brain was examined by in vivo single voxel proton NMR spectroscopy. Magnetization transfer (MT) experiments cause attenuation of various metabolite signals. Selective saturation of immobile metabolites was achieved by pulsed RF preirradiation. The method is compared with continuous wave MT generation. In contralateral tissue, MT attenuation is detected for both the CH~3~ and the CH~2~ protons of (phospho‐)creatine (Cr + PCr) and for a signal at 3.44 ppm ascribed to taurine. Significant attenuation is also observed for a signal at 3.78 ppm that is commonly ascribed to the αCH proton of glutamate and glutamine (Glx); however, no effect is observed for the γCH~2~ protons of Glx. Within implanted F98 glioma tumors, only the CH~3~ signal of Cr + PCr shows significant MT attenuation. Although the MT effect detected for lactate in the tumors fails to reach significance, a significant effect is observed for the lactate signal acquired during 3 to 9 min postmortem.

Selective saturation of bound nuclei attenuates the MR visible CH 2 and the CH 3 signal of total creatine (tCr) in rat brain in vivo. The low contrast to noise ratio achieved during the limited experiment time makes it difficult to quantify the effect. It is shown that by combining data from continu
