2201. Improving accuracy of MR-Linac arterial spin labelling for imaging dynamics of highly-perfused tumour regions in glioblastoma
L. Lawrence, B. Chugh, J. Stewart, M. Ruschin, A. Theriault, J. Detsky, S. Myrehaug, P. Maralani, C-L Tseng, H. Soliman, M. J. Lim-Fat, S. Das, A. Sahgal, A. Lau
University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
Impact: Accurate cerebral blood flow measurements from MR-Linac arterial spin labelling are possible by using the measured labelling efficiency. To target highly-perfused glioblastoma regions with dose-escalation, targeting enhancing tumour is insufficient and adaptation is required.
