In these projects, tumor heterogeneity as well as the entire brain of patients with cerebral gliomas and metastases are being investigated, using various techniques of structural MRI and MR spectroscopy (1H, 31P). Additionally, the influence of histological and molecular pathological subtypes of cerebral gliomas on cerebral metabolism is being examined. Furthermore, various quantitative MRI methods are used to differentiate post-radiation changes.

In this study, changes of the brain metabolism following a subarachnoid hemorrhage are investigated using various MR spectroscopy techniques (1H, 31P).

31P-MRS in patients with acute / subacute stroke

Team: Dr. med. univ. Patrick Sommer (PhD candidate); Dr. rer. nat. Ruth Steiger; Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Astrid Grams, MBA; Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Elke Gizewski, MHBA

Cooperation: Department for Neurology

This project investigates brain metabolism in stroke areas, surrounding regions, and the contralateral hemisphere during the acute and subacute stages of stroke, correlating findings with clinical outcome parameters.
