This is a comprehensive overview of the indications, mechanisms of action, and radiologic assessments of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), which delivers targeted cytotoxic thermal injury to intra-axial pathologies.

This multisite study found that the consensus DSC-MRI acquisition protocol confirmed the utility of standardized rCBV (srCBV) to identify biologically active, treatment-naïve brain metastases as distinguished from normal-appearing white matter and GBM. The data demonstrated that brain metastases of different primary origins have srCBV values that in general are significantly greater than normal-appearing white matter but significantly lower than srCBV for GBM.
