This retrospective observational study involved 64 patients diagnosed with GBM who underwent surgery at our institution between 1 January 2012 and 1 September 2021. Patients’ data collection included clinical data and all MRI images on pre- and post-operative tumor localization, volume in contrast-enhanced T1 sequences, area volume of FLAIR abnormalities, and the presence of edema. MRI images were acquired through a 3 T scanner (Siemens) 48 h after surgery, and tumor volumes were analyzed via a semiautomatic region of interest (ROI) analysis with Iplan Cranial v3.0 software (Brainlab, Feldkirchen, Germany). The study included patients who had a single surgically removable neoplastic lesion GBM on pre-operative MRI while excluding those with multicentric GBM, other primary neoplastic disorders, metastases, and infectious diseases.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MR) with measurement of the pre-and postoperative tumor volumes was done. The lesion volume was measured by means of volumetric MRI acquired through a 3-T MRI scanner (Siemens, Munich, Germany) before surgery through a semiautomatic region of interest (ROI) analysis with Iplan Cranial v3.0 software (Brainlab, Feldkirchen, Germany). Contrast-enhanced T1 sequences and T2 sequences were used to define the preoperative enhancing tumor volume and the interface between normal brain and enhanced areas, respectively. Extent of resection (EOR) was measured on postoperative MRI performed within 48 hours after surgery; postoperative MRI was coregistered with the preoperative dataset. Postoperative diffusionweighted imaging (DWI) was also coregistered to rule out postoperative ischemic injury.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
