MRS of pilocytic astrocytoma: The peak at 2 ppm may not be NAA

Purpose To determine whether the chemical shift of residual N‐acetylaspartate (NAA) signal in pilocytic astrocytomas (PA) is consistent with the position of the NAA peak in controls. Methods MR spectra from 27 pediatric World Health Organization (WHO) grade I pilocytic astrocytoma patients, fifteen...

description Purpose To determine whether the chemical shift of residual N‐acetylaspartate (NAA) signal in pilocytic astrocytomas (PA) is consistent with the position of the NAA peak in controls. Methods MR spectra from 27 pediatric World Health Organization (WHO) grade I pilocytic astrocytoma patients, fifteen patients with WHO grade II and high‐grade (III–IV) astrocytomas, and 36 controls were analyzed. All spectra were acquired with a short echo time (35 ms), single voxel point‐resolved spectroscopy sequence on clinical 3 tesla scanners. Fully automated LCModel software was used for processing, which included the fitting of peak positions for NAA and creatine (Cr). Results The chemical shift difference between the NAA and Cr peaks was significantly smaller (by 0.016 ± 0.005 parts per million, P

Conclusion The chemical shift position of the residual NAA peak in PAs is not consistent with NAA. The signal likely originates from an N‐acetyl group of one or more other chemicals such as N‐acetylated sugars.
