Volumetric echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) is a promising technique for mapping human brain tumors, based on elevated lesion choline (Cho) signals. This abstract reports the results of an interim analysis of an on-going project to determine if post-surgical EPSI has a role in radiotherapy planning in subjects with high-grade glioma, as well as to investigate the effects of treatment on tumor metabolism.
