Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of MRT imaging parameter DSC-perfusion, ASL-perfusion, diffusion (curtosis), and FET-PET/MRT as marker for therapy response as well as differentiation between vital tumor and therapy-associated transformations in astrocytoma (w/o IDH mutation) and oligodendroglioma. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| i) Explorative evaluation of the validity of parameter combinations in comparison to single imaging parameter, ii) explorative evaluation of the following parameter for therapy response evaluation and differentiation between therapy-induced transformations and vital tumor: ADC value, cholin enhancement, NAA-decrease, cholin/NAA-relation (spectroscopy), etc., iii) evaluation of the validity of study parameter for prognosis, iv) evaluation of motion artefacts during PET/MRT and their reduction by MR-based motion correction methods. | — |
