Owing to a high level of disease heterogeneity and common recurrence, 5-year survival is below 10% with a near 100% mortality rate. Early and accurate diagnosis of GBM is vital for disease identification, treatment planning, and therapy response assessment. Such diag-noses are often made using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). These imaging techniques not only outline the anatomical structure of the tumor, but also indicate physiological characteristics including blood flow and oxygen content within its microenvironment. These features are clinically sig-nificant, as disease prognosis and treatment efficacy are modulated by hypervascularization and reduced oxygen content (hypoxia). 000010135 650__ $$aPerfusion$$023790 000010135 650__ $$aGlioblastoma$$019547 000010135 650__ $$aMagnetic Resonance Imaging$$021747 000010135 650__ $$aHypoxia$$014810 000010135 6531_ $$apet imaging 000010135 6531_ $$afluoromisonidazole 000010135 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000010135 7001_ $$aWishart, Joseph 000010135 8564_ $$9997a92b2-0853-443c-b0f1-a5083e8d59c2$$s18212954$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/10135/files/Wishart.Joseph.2023.pdf 000010135 905__ $$a/rest/prod/xg/94/hq/19/xg94hq191 000010135 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:10135$$pstudent-work 000010135 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
