This study
investigates the possibility of adapting the PRM method for use with normalized
FLAIR images to predict OS and TTP for indication of tumor recurrence.
Glioma
patients were separated into
non-responders and responders to treatment. Voxels present in the union of the VOIs for the
rFLAIR images were used to evaluate the PRMrFLAIR values and
categorize patients into groups based on changes in signal intensity.
This study shows that
predicting TTP and OS is achievable using PRM with rFLAIR maps for patients
treated with TMZ/IR and provides the first demonstration of quantifying FLAIR
signals in patients over time.
