ADC Calculations Lars Ewell Radiation Oncology University of Arizona Medical Center 2/8/08 1 ADC Across Slices • ADC needed for entire lesion, NOT for single contour. • Area/Volume needs to be accounted for. • Slice spacing also can affect values. 2 Imaging Protocol: First Patient • Given standard treatment for GBM(resected): 2Gy/Fx 23 Fx (46Gy) + 2Gy/Fx 17 Fx (14Gy). Tx finished on 2/19/07. Total of 60Gy. This Tx alone would have enabled enrollment in protocol. • Prescribed additional dose of 15 Gy to same area via Stereotactic Radio Surgery (SRS). Patient at high risk for radiation necrosis. Enrolled/scanned on 3/23/07. Scan time 1 hr 13min. • Treated with 15 Gy additional radiation on 3/28/07. 3 MRI Scans Used for Contouring: T2 FLAIR (?) 1 4 2 5 3 6 4 MRI Scans Used for ADC Calculation – diffrad, b=0 1 4 2 5 3 6 5 Comparison of Scans • T2 FLAIR/Brainscan Vlesion=9.14cc • b=0 Protocol Scan Slice Thickness = 5mm • b=0 Protocol Scan Slice Spacing = 7mm 6
