Assessing Response Using Tc99m-MIBI Early after Interstitial Chemotherapy with Carmustine-Loaded Polymers in Glioblastoma Multiforme: Preliminary Results

Introduction. Early signs of response after applying wafers of carmustine-loaded polymers (gliadel) are difficult to assess with imaging because of time-related imaging changes. Tc99m-sestamibi (MIBI) brain single-photon emission tomography (SPET) has reportedly been used to reveal areas of cellular...
