Multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Treatment-Induced Changes to Diffuse Infiltrating Pontine Gliomas in Children and Correlation to Patient Progression-Free Survival

Multimodal MRI provides useful information about diffuse infiltrating pontine gliomas' response to treatment; rCBV increases following RT, and higher values are correlated with better PFS. High rCBV values following RT should not be mistaken for progression and could be an indicator of response to therapy.
