The Role of Multimodal Imaging in Differentiating Vasogenic from Infiltrative Edema: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Background High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are the most prevalent primary malignancy of the central nervous system. The tumor results in vasogenic and infiltrative edema . Exact anatomical differentiation of these edemas is so important for surgical planning. Multimodal imaging could be used to differentiate the edema type.
