Clinical use of MRSI is limited by the level of experience required to properly translate MRSI examinations into relevant clinical information. To solve this, several methods have been proposed to automatically recognize a predefined set of reference metabolic patterns. Given the variety of metabolic patterns seen in glioma patients, the decision on the optimal number of patterns that need to be used to describe the data is not trivial. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to (1) separate healthy from abnormal metabolic patterns and (2) retrieve an optimal number of reference patterns describing the most important types of abnormality. Using 41 MRSI examinations (1.5 T, PRESS, T 135 ms) from 22 glioma patients, four different patterns describing different types of abnormality were detected: edema, healthy without Glx, active tumor and necrosis. The identified patterns were then evaluated on 17 MRSI examinations from nine different glioma patients. The results were compared against BraTumIA, an automatic segmentation method trained to identify different tumor compartments on structural MRI data. Finally, the ability to predict future contrast enhancement using the proposed approach was also evaluated.
