description | Inaccurate assessment of surveillance imaging to assess response to glioma therapy may have life-changing consequences. Varied management plans including chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy may all contribute to heterogeneous post-treatment appearances and the overlap between the morphological features of pseudoprogression, pseudoresponse and radiation necrosis can make their discrimination very challenging. Therefore, there has been a drive to develop objective strategies for post-treatment assessment of brain gliomas. This review discusses the most important of these approaches such as the RANO “Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology”, iRANO “Immunotherapy Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology” and RAPNO “Response Assessment in Paediatric Neuro-Oncology” models. In addition to these systematic approaches for glioma surveillance, the relatively limited information provided by conventional imaging modalities alone has motivated the development of novel advanced magnetic resonance (MR) and metabolic imaging methods for further discrimination between viable tumour and treatment induced changes. Multiple clinical trials and meta-analyses have investigated the diagnostic performance of these novel techniques in the follow up of brain gliomas, including both single modality descriptive studies and comparative imaging assessment. In this manuscript, we review the literature and discuss the promises and pitfalls of frequently studied modalities in glioma surveillance imaging, including MR perfusion, MR diffusion and MR spectroscopy. In addition, we evaluate other promising MR techniques such as chemical exchange saturation transfer as well as fludeoxyglucose and non-FDG positron emission tomography techniques. |
