Abstract

2HG is the specific biomarker for the IDH mutation in gliomas. To get the correct spectrum analysis, precise basis set calculation would be essential. The basis set was the simulated result from PRESS sequence physical parameters fixed in our clinical setting. However, the Siemens scanner automatically set the 180 RF duration based on each patient’s information. Our dataset found nine 180 RF pulse durations from 5 ms to 6.6 ms. In this study, I want to examine the 180 RF pulse duration effect in 3T MRS spectrum analysis and present a practical solution for the precise analysis.
