[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the correlation between the grade of intratumoral susceptibility signals (ITSS) in high-resolution susceptibility-weighted imaging(SWI) and relative quantitative of multi-voxel 1H-MRS, and estimate its value on the grade of brain astrocytic tumours.Materials and Methods: The data of 33 patients with brain astrocytic tumours confirmed by postoperative pathologic were collected. Multi-voxel 1H-MRS calculates respectively the relative quantitative of Choline (Cho)/Creotine (Cr), Cho/N-acetylaspartate (NAA), and analyze with grade of ITSS correlation.Results: The high grade astrocytic tumours of ITSS classification was obviously higher than the low grade gliomas (P<0.01). The high grade astrocytic tumours of Cho/Cr, Cho/NAA relative quantitative ratio was obviously higher than the low grade astrocytic tumours (P<0.01). The higher the grade of ITSS was, the bigger the Cho/Cr, Cho/NAA of relative quantitative ratio was, which showed positive correlation (r=0.763, r=0.741, P<0.01).Conclusion: There is better positive correlation between grade of ITSS and relative quantitative of 1H-MRS in patients with brain astrocytic tumours. The grade of ITSS in brain astrocytic tumours can be used as classification diagnostic index.
