DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Positron Emission Tomography

6.2K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Computed Tomography

7.6K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroradiology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Standard Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides anatomical detail for brain tumor evaluation.
  • Functional imaging techniques like diffusion and perfusion MRI are emerging for glioma biomarkers.
  • Recent advancements necessitate updated response assessment criteria for high-grade gliomas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of MRI in brain tumor assessment.
  • To discuss the impact of new antiangiogenic therapies on MRI interpretation.
  • To highlight the updated Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for high-grade gliomas.

Main Methods:

  • Review of standard and functional MRI techniques in neuro-oncology.
  • Analysis of the updated RANO criteria for high-grade gliomas.
  • Discussion of challenges in interpreting MRI response with bevacizumab and pseudoprogression.

Main Results:

  • Standard MRI remains crucial, but functional MRI shows promise for predictive and prognostic biomarkers.
  • The RANO criteria now incorporate nonenhancing tumor, improving assessment accuracy.
  • Bevacizumab reduces contrast enhancement, complicating interpretation with older criteria.
  • RANO criteria address pseudoprogression, a transient MRI worsening post-radiotherapy.

Conclusions:

  • Updated RANO criteria are essential for accurately evaluating high-grade glioma response, especially with new therapies.
  • Functional MRI requires further research to establish its role alongside standard MRI.
  • Accurate interpretation of MRI is critical for effective brain tumor management.
