Patterns of Recurrence Analysis in newly diagnosed GBM following 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy with respect to Pre-RT MR Spectroscopic Findings

摘要

PurposeTo determine whether the combined MRI and MR spectroscopy imaging (MRSI) prior to radiation therapy (RT) is valuable for RT target definition, and to evaluate the feasibility of replacing the current definition of uniform margins by custom shaped margins based on the information from MRI and MRSI.
