In this pilot study the investigators propose to image 10 participants who have been previously diagnosed by resection or biopsy with grade 3 or 4 glioma.
All glioma cases undergoing resection at UPMC are evaluated by immunohistochemistry for mutations in p53, nuclear localization of ATRX, and the presence of IDH1R132H mutation as part of standard neuropathologic integrated diagnosis using the WHO 2016 diagnostic criteria. All glioma cases resected at UPMC undergo genetic profiling using next generation sequencing.
MRI imaging will be obtained as part of standard clinical care. The MRI sequences include T1 pre and post contrast, T2 FLAIR, DWI, ADC and perfusion sequences using the imaging algorithm for evaluating treatment response in glioma treatment trials. Radiogenomic analysis will be performed using the MRI imaging sequences obtained as standard clinical care.
