In this study, we performed longitudinal MR follow-up of GBM treated with anti-angiogenics using a multimodal MR protocol. The investigations particularly involved arterial spin-labeling (ASL) and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI). Both sequences provide vascular information that may be particularly appropriated to evaluate the anti-angiogenic response, in complement to RANO criteria.
