Advanced MR Imaging as Predictor of Treatment Response in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastomas

Exclusion Criteria

• •Patients who underwent complete resection
• •Patients with no evidence of measurable disease after surgery
• •Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy
• •Patients who have any type of bioimplant activated by mechanical, electronic, or magnetic means (e.g., cochlear implants, pacemakers, neurostimulators, electronic infusion pumps, etc), because such devices may be displaced or malfunction
• •Patients who are pregnant or breast feeding; urine pregnancy test will be performed on women of child bearing potential
• •For patients who have undergone surgical resection prior to joining the study, in whom baseline magnetic resonance (MR) images exhibit enough signal degradation (due to susceptibility artifact in the region of the surgical bed) such that the data are uninterpretable will be excluded
