In this work, we present the initial results of studying
imaging differences of cerebral radiation necrosis on
Gadolinium contrast-enhanced (Gd-C) T1-w MRI obtained
from a unique cohort of patients treated for (a)
nasopharyngeal carcinoma, (b) Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM),
and (c) metastatic brain tumors. Ability to identify
changes in imaging characteristics on pure Radiation
Necrosis (RN) with no cancer presence as observed in
nasopharyngeal carcinoma, may allow for improved
understanding of the changes in imaging characteristics
on mixed RN on account of cancer presence in primary
and metastatic brain tumors
