Early response assessment of glioma patients to definitive chemoradiotherapy using chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging at 7 T

Background Patients with newly diagnosed inoperable glioma receive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Standard Response Assessment in Neuro‐Oncology (RANO) takes a minimum of 4 weeks after the end of treatment. Purpose/Hypothesis To investigate whether chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI enables earlier assessment of response to CRT in glioma patients. Study Type Longitudinal prospective study. Population Twelve brain tumor patients who...
