T1-Weighted Contrast Enhancement, Apparent Diffusion Coefficient, and Cerebral-Blood-Volume Changes after Glioblastoma Resection: MRI within 48 Hours vs. beyond 48 Hours.

The study showed differences in CE, rCBV, and ADC values between the groups of patients undergoing MRIs before and after 48 h. An MRI performed within 48 h may increase the ability of detecting GBM by the perfusion technique with the calculation of the rCBV ratio.
