In this work, we present the initial results of studying imaging differences of cerebral radiation necrosis on Gadolinium contrast-enhanced (Gd-C) T1-w MRI obtained from a unique cohort of patients treated for (a) nasopharyngeal carcinoma, (b) Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), and (c) metastatic brain tumors. Ability to identify changes in imaging characteristics on pure Radiation Necrosis (RN) with no cancer presence as observed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, may allow for improved understanding of the changes in imaging characteristics on mixed RN on account of cancer presence in primary and metastatic brain tumors
