[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the clinical application value of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction by using PRESS sequence-long echo time and STEAM sequence-short echo time scan.Materials and Methods: 27 patients with acute cerebral infarction were scanned by regular magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance spectroscopy using both PRESS sequence-long echo time and STEAM sequence-short echo time. Then the changes of metabolites on the infarct side and its correlation with mRS after three months were analyzed statistically and the results of two different MRS scan ways were compared.Results: (1) The contentions of NAA, Cho, Cr and the ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr in the infraction region were detected changes by two different MRS scanning techniques, but there was no significant difference between the two scan results. Lac was detected in some patients using PRESS sequence-long echo time scan, while Lac and short T2 substances such as mI and Glx were detected in the STEAM sequence-short echo time scan. (2) There were significantly negatively correlation between the ratios of rNAA, NAA/Cr and mRS scale after 3 months by using PRESS sequence-long echo time and STEAM sequence-short echo time scan. (3) The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the sensitivity of rNAA, rCr and NAA/Cr in the infraction region to predict the prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction were 88.9%, 66.7%, 77.8% and specificity were 80%, 80%, 60% by using STEAM sequence-short echo time scan; while the sensitivity of 57.1%, 28.6%, 57.1%, and specificity of 75%, 87.5%, 87.5% by using PRESS sequence-long echo time scan.Conclusions: There have good consistency between PRESS sequence-long echo and STEAM sequence-short echo scan, which can detect changes of metabolites to reflect pathological changes in infarct areas. However, STEAM sequence-short echo scan can detect more species of metabolite abnormalities, and is superior to PRESS long echo in predicting prognosis of acute cerebral infarction.
