Measuring Tumor Metabolism in Pediatric Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma Using Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 MR Metabolic Imaging
Figure 1
Representative anatomical images from a rat ( total) bearing orthotopic DIPG. T2-weighted images in sagittal (a) and axial (b) planes demonstrated a T2-hyperintense lesion through the brainstem. The corresponding axial post-Gd T1-weighted image (c) exhibited no contrast enhancement. Horizontal dashed lines in (a) delimit the 5.4 mm axial slice of 13C MRSI data, presented in Figure 2. The yellow boundary in (a) and (b) indicates the location of pons.
