abstract = {Malignant tumors commonly exhibit a reversed pH gradient
compared with normal tissue, with a more acidic
extracellular pH and an alkaline intracellular pH (pHi). In
this prospective study, pHi values in gliomas were
quantified using high-resolution phosphorous 31 (31P)
spectroscopic MRI at 7.0 T and were used to correlate pHi
alterations with histopathologic findings. A total of 12
participants (mean age, 58 years ± 18 [SD]; seven male,
five female) with histopathologically proven, newly
diagnosed glioma were included between September 2018 and
November 2019. The 31P spectroscopic MRI scans were acquired
using a double-resonant 31P/1H phased-array head coil
together with a three-dimensional (3D) 31P chemical shift
imaging sequence (5.7-mL voxel volume) performed with a
7.0-T whole-body system. The 3D volumetric segmentations
were performed for the whole-tumor volumes (WTVs); tumor
subcompartments of necrosis, gadolinium enhancement, and
nonenhancing T2 (NCE T2) hyperintensity; and
normal-appearing white matter (NAWM), and pHi values were
compared. Spearman correlation was used to assess
association between pHi and the proliferation index Ki-67.
For all study participants, mean pHi values were higher in
the WTV (7.057 ± 0.024) compared with NAWM (7.006 ± 0.012;
P < .001). In eight participants with high-grade gliomas,
pHi was increased in all tumor subcompartments (necrosis,
7.075 ± 0.033; gadolinium enhancement, 7.075 ± 0.024; NCE
T2 hyperintensity, 7.043 ± 0.015) compared with NAWM (7.004
± 0.014; all P < .01). The pHi values of WTV positively
correlated with Ki-67 (R2 = 0.74, r = 0.78, P = .001). In
conclusion, 31P spectroscopic MRI at 7.0 T enabled
high-resolution quantification of pHi in gliomas, with pHi
alteration associated with the Ki-67 proliferation index,
and may aid in diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Keywords:
