Discriminating treatment-related effect from tumor recurrence with is critical for treatment decision-making. Amide proton transfer (APT) and pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pcASL) are two non-invasive advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. In this study we combined two techniques hoping to explore their diagnostic performance in differentiating treatment-related effect from tumor recurrence.
