This study investigates the possibility of adapting the PRM method for use with normalized FLAIR images to predict OS and TTP for indication of tumor recurrence. Glioma patients were separated into non-responders and responders to treatment. Voxels present in the union of the VOIs for the rFLAIR images were used to evaluate the PRM_rFLAIR values and categorize patients into groups based on changes in signal intensity. This study shows that predicting TTP and OS is achievable using PRM with rFLAIR maps for patients treated with TMZ/IR and provides the first demonstration of quantifying FLAIR signals in patients over time.
