Table 3. Summary of radiological abnormalities recorded on postoperative brain scan.
| Radiological abnormalities | Case number | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | |
| Estimated % resection of tumor | 90% | GTR | 90% | GTR | GTR | GTR | GTR | Biopsy – no resection |
| DWI abnormalities surround the lesion (cm) | 5 | 1.5 | Small patchy foci | Small patchy foci | None | None | 2 | N/A |
| Enhancement with Gd at margins | No | No | No | No | No | No | Yes | Yes |
Gd = gadolinium; GTR = gross total resection – identified radiologically; DWI = diffusion weighted imaging.
