To evaluate whether sodium MRI (23Na-MRI) adds diagnostic value to multiparametric MRI and helps predict progressive disease (PD), patients monitored under a 'watchful waiting' strategy were repeatedly examined.Overall, 18 patients with biopsy-proven WHO grade II astrocytoma (10 female, mean age 42 ± 15 years) were prospectively included after baseline imaging. The imaging protocol comprised morphological MRI (T2 TSE, T2 FLAIR, pre- and post-contrast T1 SE), DSC perfusion MRI (n = 17), and 23Na-MRI (n = 9) at 3 T. At baseline, evaluable 23Na-MRI was available for six patients. The Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology criteria were used to define PD. Semiquantitative ROI analysis was performed on DSC- and 23Na-MRI. Data were analyzed using the Cox regression model.In 14 patients (78%), PD was found after a mean of 420 ± 354 days. For the endpoint time to progression, univariate Cox regression revealed a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.39 for relative regional cerebral blood volume (rrCBV) in the tumor at baseline, and an HR of 1.29 for relative regional cerebral blood flow (rrCBF) at baseline. The 23Na signal in tumor tissue at baseline, normalized to sodium phantoms, revealed an HR of 0.91.Elevation of rrCBV and rrCBF in the tumor indicates poor prognosis, in line with the literature. 23Na-MRI can be used for WHO grade II astrocytoma surveillance. In some treatment-naïve WHO grade II astrocytomas, an initially high sodium signal seems to be prognostically favorable, contrary to the literature on 23Na-MRI in postoperative aftercare. However, due to the small cohort size with evaluable 23Na-MRI at baseline, evidence is limited. In future, 23Na-MRI may help selecting patients for a 'watchful waiting' strategy. 000306178 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-315$$a315 - Bildgebung und Radioonkologie (POF4-315)$$cPOF4-315$$fPOF IV$$x0 000306178 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: inrepo02.dkfz.de 000306178 650_7 $$2Other$$a3D radial gradient echo projection imaging sequence 000306178 650_7 $$2Other$$aBrain tumor 000306178 650_7 $$2Other$$aDSC perfusion MRI 000306178 650_7 $$2Other$$aLow grade astrocytoma 000306178 650_7 $$2Other$$aMRI in oncology 000306178 7001_ $$aGemescu, Ioan$$b1 000306178 7001_ $$aGerigk, Lars$$b2 000306178 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)054fd7a5195b75b11fbdc5c360276011$$aNagel, Armin M$$b3$$udkfz 000306178 7001_ $$aEssig, Marco$$b4 000306178 7001_ $$aLangner, Sönke$$b5 000306178 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)5d10a98475a036b2a1ad3c2316d4b3ab$$aWeber, Marc-Andre$$b6$$eLast author 000306178 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)3120921-X$$a10.1007/s00117-025-01531-0$$nSuppl. 1$$p126-132$$tDie Radiologie$$v65$$x2731-7048$$y2025 000306178 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:306178$$pVDB 000306178 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)054fd7a5195b75b11fbdc5c360276011$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b3$$kDKFZ 000306178 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)5d10a98475a036b2a1ad3c2316d4b3ab$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b6$$kDKFZ 000306178 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-315$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vBildgebung und Radioonkologie$$x0 000306178 9141_ $$y2025 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3002$$2StatID$$aDEAL Springer$$d2024-12-18$$wger 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3002$$2StatID$$aDEAL Springer$$d2024-12-18$$wger 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2024-12-18 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2024-12-18 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2024-12-18 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2024-12-18 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine$$d2024-12-18 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2024-12-18 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2024-12-18 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bRADIOLOGIE : 2022$$d2024-12-18 000306178 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2024-12-18 000306178 9202_ $$0I:(DE-He78)E040-20160331$$kE040$$lE040 Med.
