Novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography in the RT Planning and Assessment of Response of Malignant Gliomas
2021, Molecular Imaging: Principles and PracticeFunctional and Metabolic Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography for Tumor Volume Definition in High-Grade Gliomas
2009, Seminars in Radiation OncologyCitation Excerpt :Conventional radiation typically is planned using multiple modalities, including contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans, MRI, and positron emission tomography (PET) to more precisely define target volumes at risk.8-12
Malignancy assessment of brain tumours with magnetic resonance spectroscopy and dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI
2008, European Journal of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :A choline/creatine ratio equal or larger than 1.78 predicted malignancy with 80% sensitivity and 73% specificity [12]. The rationale for using perfusion analysis to characterize brain tumours is that tumours are associated with increased microvascularity, while necrosis is associated with decreased microvascularity [13–19]. Comparisons of relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) with histologic sections in patients with glioma have indicated a significant relationship between tumour vascularity and maximum tumour rCBV [17].
Role of fusion in radiotherapy treatment planning
2003, Seminars in Nuclear MedicineCitation Excerpt :The group from Massachusetts General Hospital arrived at the same conclusion. In a study of eight malignant glioma patients, only two had additional information provided by FDG-PET over MRI.34 There has recently been some interest in combining the FDG-PET with MRI for gamma knife radiosurgery of recurrent gliomas and metastatic lesions in improving target definition.35
