Use of permeability surface area-product to differentiate intracranial tumours from abscess
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Clinical and radiological findings of intracranial abscesses may mimic the findings of brain tumours and vice versa. However, the discrimination is of great clinical importance in planning treatment and in following prognosis and response to therapy. This study evaluates the Computed Tomography (CT) perfusion parameters, especially the permeability index, with the aim of ...
متن کاملRadiotherapy techniques for intracranial tumours
ABSTRACTIntracranial tumours often require radiotherapeutic approaches that differ from other sites. Their specific requirements merit a specialized discussion. A brief review of radiotherapy techniques to treat intracranial tumours is presented with emphasis on the author’s own experience and work, where appropriate. A clinical introduction is presented first followed by a description of bot...
متن کاملRemote metastases from intracranial tumours.
A review of the primary tumours of the nervous system encountered over the past 16 years from the population of the west of Scotland uncovered only three tumours in which remote extracranial metastases had developed. In all three, there had been surgical intervention before the appearance of metastases. The findings in these patients are compared with those in other published accounts of this u...
متن کاملIn vitro validation of permeability-surface area product derived by distributed parameter model with DCE-MRI
Introduction: Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) with tracer kinetic modeling has been proposed as a biomarker of tumor angiogenesis assessment in humans. Several tracer kinetic models, distributed parameter model (DP), St. Lawrence and Lee model (ATH), and conventional compartmental model (CC), have been proposed to calculate permeability-surface area product (PS). It was found that PS co...
متن کاملEvans blue dye in the assessment of permeability-surface area product in perfused rat lungs.
Evans blue dye (EBD) has been used extensively as a marker of extravascular protein leakage. We assessed the utility of EBD as an albumin marker in the measurement of permeability-surface area product (PS) in perfused rat lungs and compared the results with PS values obtained using 125I-labeled albumin. In isolated perfused rat lungs, PS was measured by exposure to a perfusate containing EBD (6...
