Figure 3.
Sample T1 weighted post-gadolinium MRI from patient five obtained 30 days prior to BBB opening procedure (left), immediately following BBB disruption (middle) and 20 hours post BBB disruption (right). Ill-defined contrast enhancement is seen in the peritumoral region on images acquired immediately after MRgFUS (white arrows). This contrast enhancement has resolved in the peritumor region on the day 1 follow-up image indicating closure of the BBB. T2* sequence acquired immediately following BBB disruption for this patient show no evidence of microhemorrhages.
