Can Perfusion-Based Brain Tissue Oxygenation MRI Support the Understanding of Cerebral Abscesses In Vivo?
Purpose: The clinical condition of a brain abscess is a potentially life-threatening disease. The combination of MRI-based imaging, surgical therapy and microbiological analysis is critical for the treatment and convalescence of the individual patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate brain tis...

description | Purpose: The clinical condition of a brain abscess is a potentially life-threatening disease. The combination of MRI-based imaging, surgical therapy and microbiological analysis is critical for the treatment and convalescence of the individual patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate brain tissue oxygenation measured with dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion weighted imaging (DSC-PWI) in patients with brain abscess and its potential benefit for a better understanding of the environment in and around brain abscesses. Methods: Using a local database, 34 patients (with 45 abscesses) with brain abscesses treated between January 2013 and March 2021 were retrospectively included in this study. DSC-PWI imaging and microbiological work-up were key inclusion criteria. These data were analysed regarding a correlation between DSC-PWI and microbiological result by quantifying brain tissue oxygenation in the abscess itself, the abscess capsula and the surrounding oedema and by using six different parameters (CBF, CBV, CMRO2, COV, CTH and OEF). Results: Relative cerebral blood flow (0.335 [0.18–0.613] vs. 0.81 [0.49–1.08], p = 0.015), relative cerebral blood volume (0.44 [0.203–0.72] vs. 0.87 [0.67–1.2], p = 0.018) and regional cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (0.37 [0.208–0.695] vs. 0.82 [0.55–1.19], p = 0.022) were significantly lower in the oedema around abscesses without microbiological evidence of a specific bacteria in comparison with microbiological positive lesions. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate a relationship between brain tissue oxygenation status in DSC-PWI and microbiological/inflammatory status. These results may help to better understand the in vivo environment of brain abscesses and support future therapeutic decisions. |
