We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of PET with l-methyl-11C-methionine (11C-MET) for
the differentiation of recurrent brain tumors from radiation necrosis. Methods: Seventy-seven …

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) represents the current
mainstay for monitoring treatment response in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), based on the …

Purpose This meta-analysis examined roles of several metabolites in differentiating
recurrent tumor from necrosis in patients with brain tumors using MR perfusion and …

Although radionecrosis has been exhaustively described in depth in the neurooncological
literature, its diagnosis is still a challenging issue because its radiological pattern is …

✓ Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive primary brain tumors, with a
grim prognosis despite maximal treatment. Advancements in the past decades have not …

Accurate diagnosis is essential for optimum management and treatment of patients with
brain tumours. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) provides information …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to explore the feasibility and utility of 2D
chemical shift imaging (CSI) MR spectroscopy in the evaluation of new areas of contrast …

Introduction Magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic

Objective: Despite side effects associated with the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs),
withdrawal of AEDs remains controversial, even after prolonged seizure freedom. The main …

Standard therapeutic options for brain tumors include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
Unfortunately, these same therapies pose risks of neurotoxicity, the most common long-term …
