Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry for Tumor Cell Density Imaging for Glioma: An Exploratory Study via <sup>11</sup>C-Methionine PET and Its Validation via Stereotactic Tissue Sampling

Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry for Tumor Cell Density Imaging for Glioma: An Exploratory Study via <sup>11</sup>C-Methionine PET and Its Validation via Stereotactic Tissue Sampling

One of the most crucial yet challenging issues for glioma patient care is visualizing non-contrast-enhancing tumor regions. In this study, to test the hypothesis that quantitative magnetic resonance relaxometry reflects glioma tumor load within tissue and that it can be an imaging surrogate for visu...
