Abstract

The aim of the study was to develop and validate a new localized (1)H MRS pulse sequence and automated post-processing software for the quantification of brain Glutamate (Glu) in clinical conditions at 7.0T in order to get reliable and reproducible results for acute intervention studies. Here we describe a new localized proton MRS method "Fully Automated MacrOmolecUle Suppressed Single Voxel Glutamate Spectroscopy (FAMOUS SVGS)" for measuring Glu. FAMOUS SVGS method consists of a new pulse sequence with optimized switchable water, metabolites and outer volume suppression modules, as well as a frequency selective inversion pulse and automated post-processing of the five spectra obtained. FAMOUS SVGS method was first validated with glutamate phantoms and then validated with test-retest repeatability studies in the occipital cortex of five normal volunteers at 7.0T. Glutamate concentrations estimated from phantoms with FAMOUS SVGS method correlated well with actual concentrations. Test-retest repeatability studies in human brain in vivo yielded less than 0.3 mM intra-subject variations in Glu concentrations. FAMOUS SVGS method enables Glu quantification in vivo at 7.0T with test-retest variability of less than 0.3 mM. We expect that we can reliably measure ≥0.5 mM change in glutamate due to any acute intervention.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 July 2016.
All research outputs
#15,380,359
of 22,881,154 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Translational Medicine
#2,238
of 4,004 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#236,234
of 365,298 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Translational Medicine
#58
of 89 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,881,154 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,004 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.5. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 365,298 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 89 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
