Abstract

Post-surgery prognosis for a brain tumor is influenced as much by histology as by completeness of resection. For the purpose of evaluation of response to treatment, the exact identification of any residual tumor holds central position. A review of the current and past literature addressing the tips and tricks involved in post-operative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for the definition of post resection glioblastoma residue is given.
