RADI-06. CORRELATION BETWEEN APT-CEST AND 18F-CHOLINE PET IN GLIOMA AT 3T

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI is emerging as a powerful diagnostic tool in gliomas but there is lack of agreement as to the source of the Amide Proton Transfer (APT)-CEST signal and contrast. We aimed to investigate whether APT signal could be a non-invasive biomarker of Teenage and Young Adult (TYA) glioma cell proliferation through correlation with 18F-Cho PET SUV as the gold standard. 8 TYA patients referred for 18F-Cho...
