Abstract
This study established that optimizing the delivery of iodine by means of IC injection combined with a blood-brain barrier opener (mannitol) significantly increases the iodine uptake of F98 rat gliomas. This infusion protocol could potentially enhance the efficacy of SSR treatment, because the radiation dose is proportional to the iodine amount present in the irradiation bed.
