PurposeThe objective of the current study was to explore the efficacy of using pH-weighted amine CEST-EPI as a potential non-invasive imaging biomarker for treatment response and/or failure in recurrent GBM patients treated with bevacizumab.MethodA total of 11 patients with recurrent GBM treated with bevacizumab were included in this prospective study. CEST-EPI, perfusion MRI, and standardized anatomic MRI were obtained in patients before and after bevacizumab administration. CEST-EPI measures of magnetization transfer ratio asymmetry (MTRasym) at 3ppm were used for pH-weighted imaging contrast. Multiple measures were examined for their association with progression-free survival (PFS).ResultTumor acidity, measured with MTRasym at 3ppm, was significantly reduced in both contrast enhancing and non-enhancing tumor after bevacizumab (p = 0.0002 and p |
