- Development and Evaluation of Automated Artificial Intelligence–Based Brain Tumor Response Assessment in Patients with Glioblastoma
The goal of this study was to compare AI-based volumetric GBM MRI response assessment with standardized radiologist response assessments. The AI-based volumetric response assessment yielded overall moderate performance for recapitulating most human response assessment categories (BT-RADS 1, 2, and 4) but demonstrated the lowest performance for predicting BT-RADS 3, which is likely related to the high variability of this assessment. In comparison to radiologist assessment, the AI-based volumetric GBM MRI response assessment showed comparable performance for overall survival.
- Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for Intra-Axial Brain Tumors: Everything the Neuroradiologist Should Know
This is a comprehensive overview of the indications, mechanisms of action, and radiologic assessments of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), which delivers targeted cytotoxic thermal injury to intra-axial pathologies.
- Multisite Benchmark Study for Standardized Relative CBV in Untreated Brain Metastases Using the DSC-MRI Consensus Acquisition Protocol
This multisite study found that the consensus DSC-MRI acquisition protocol confirmed the utility of standardized rCBV (srCBV) to identify biologically active, treatment-naïve brain metastases as distinguished from normal-appearing white matter and GBM. The data demonstrated that brain metastases of different primary origins have srCBV values that in general are significantly greater than normal-appearing white matter but significantly lower than srCBV for GBM.
