Assessment of the hypervascularized fraction of glioblastomas using a volume analysis of dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced MRI may help to identify pseudoprogression
Abstract:Purpose
Although perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used to identify pseudoprogression, this advanced technique lacks clinical reliability. Our aim was to develop a parameter assessing the hypervascularized fraction of glioblastomas based on volume analysis of dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced MRI and evaluate its performance in the diagnosis of pseudoprogression.
Methods
Patients with primary glioblastoma showing lesion progression on the first follow-up MRI after chemoradiotherapy … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
