Visualization of microvascularity in glioblastoma multiforme with 8-T high-spatial-resolution MR imaging.

چکیده
We used 8-T high-spatial-resolution gradient-echo MR imaging to directly visualize microvascularity in pathologically proved glioblastoma multiforme. Images were compared with 1.5-T high-spatial-resolution fast spin-echo T2-weighted images and digital subtraction angiograms. Preliminary data indicate that 8-T high-spatial-resolution MR imaging may enable the identification of areas of abnormal microvascularity in glioblastoma multiforme that are not visible with other routine clinical techniques.

Susceptibility-based imaging of glioblastoma microvascularity at 8 T: correlation of MR imaging and postmortem pathology.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Imaging methods are currently being optimized in an attempt to assess and monitor angiogenesis in vivo. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether areas of apparently increased tumor vascularity, as identified on 8-T gradient-echo (GE) imaging of a known glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), corresponds to foci of increased microvascularity on histopathologic ana...
متن کاملThe clinical relevance and scientific potential of ultra high-field-strength MR imaging.
As neuroradiologists, we are fortunate to work with the ever-advancing MR imaging technology. MR imaging has evolved as a robust and highly versatile clinical tool. In addition, MR imaging has caused dramatic changes in the clinical evaluation of a host of neurologic disorders; a well-recognized example is the role of diffusion-weighted imaging in acute stroke. Such advances typically stem from...

Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...

BACKGROUND Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and most aggressive malign brain tumor. The 5-year survival rate after tumor resection and adjuvant chemoradiation is only 10 %, with almost all recurrences occurring in the initially treated site. Attempts to improve local control using a higher radiation dose were not successful so that alternative additive treatments are urgently needed. ...
