Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging relaxation times, T1ρ and Carr-Purcell T2 (CP-T2), were measured in a glioma herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase gene therapy model. In treated tumors with >50% cell death by histology, T1ρ and CP-T2 measured with short spacing (τCP) between centers of adiabatic refocusing pulses showed similar enhanced sensitivity to cytotoxic cell damage over CP-T2 measured with long τCP (long-τ CP T2: 54.3 ± 0.7 and 55.4 ± 1.2 ms, P = 0.30; short-τCP T2: 61.3 ± 1.0 and 64.2 ± 1.1 ms, P < 0.05 before and day 2 of treatment, respectively). Without treatment, long-τCP T2 provided the most pronounced contrast between tumor and normal cerebral tissue. These data demonstrate that endogenous T2 contrast can be modulated and extended in a manner likely to be clinically important.
