The acute response in a U251 rat model of embedded
cerebral tumor high-dose radiotherapy (HD-RT) is studied
by measuring blood flow and vascular parameters in the
tumor, and tissue compression in the periphery of the
tumor. At 2 and 4 hours post HD-RT a profound decrease
in tumor blood flow accompanies a significant decrease
in extracellular space in both the tumor and its
periphery. Decoupling of tissue compression and blood
flow occurs about 8 hours after HD-RT.
