Early Postoperative Expansion of Parenchymal High-intensity Areas on T(2)-weighted Imaging Predicts Delayed Cerebral Edema Caused by Carmustine Wafer Implantation in Patients with High-grade Glioma

BACKGROUND: Carmustine (BCNU) wafer (Gliadel(®) Wafer) implantation after tumor resection is an approved treatment for high-grade glioma (HGG). These wafers change various characteristics on early postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (ep-MRI) including slight expansion of high-intensity areas on...
