Summary

This study tested whether a special type of scan (FET-PET/MRI) can better show the full extent of glioblastoma brain tumors after surgery compared to standard MRI. The goal was to see if this could help doctors plan radiation treatment more accurately. Eleven adults who had surgery for glioblastoma took part, and researchers measured differences in the size of the area needing radiation.
