Preclinical models are needed to study glioblastoma multiforme, the most lethal malignant brain tumor. Human G144-glioblastoma stem cells have been used in in vitro studies but there are few studies in vivo, especially using MRI approaches. We aimed to evaluate in vivo, for the first time to our knowledge, a G144 glioblastoma model by multiparametric-MRI. NOD-SCID mice were orthotopically injected with G144 cells, tumor was characterized by multiparametric-MRI and dynamic contrast enhancement studies. G144 tumors presented heterogeneous imaging pattern compared to other GBM models with higher contrast uptake areas and edema related features.
