AbstractPurpose: To evaluate the late effects of radiation-induced damages in the rat brain by means of in vivo multipara- metric MRI. Materials and Methods: The right hemibrains of seven Sprague-Dawley rats were irradiated with a highly colli- mated 6 MV photon beam at a single dose of approximately 28 Gy. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), proton MR spectros- copy (1H-MRS), T2-weighted imaging, and T1-weighted im- aging were performed to the same animals 12 months after radiation treatment. Results: Compared with the contralateral side, a signifi- cantly higher percentage decrease in fractional anisotropy was observed in the ipsilateral fimbria of hippocampus (29%) than the external capsule (8%) in DTI, indicating the selective vulnerability of fimbria to radiation treatment. Furthermore, in 1H-MRS, significantly higher choline, glu- tamate, lactate, and taurine peaks by 24%, 25%, 87%, and 58%, respectively, were observed relative to creatine in the ipsilateral brain. Postmortem histology confirmed these white matter degradations as well as glial fibrillary acidic protein and glutamine synthetase immunoreactivity in- crease in the ipsilateral brain. Conclusion: The microstructural and metabolic changes in late radiation-induced brain injuries were documented in vivo. These multiparametric MRI measurements may help understand the white matter changes and neurotoxicity upon radiation treatment in a single setting. © 2009.
