Volumetric echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) is a
promising technique for mapping human brain tumors,
based on elevated lesion choline (Cho) signals. This
abstract reports the results of an interim analysis of
an on-going project to determine if post-surgical EPSI
has a role in radiotherapy planning in subjects with
high-grade glioma, as well as to investigate the effects
of treatment on tumor metabolism.
