Summary

Background: Differentiating true progression (TP) from pseudoprogression (PsP) after glioma surgery remains a major clinical challenge because conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) often cannot reliably distinguish these conditions.

Objective: This prospective observational diagnostic accuracy study aims to evaluate the value of multiparametric imaging based on three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) combined with time-dependent diffusion MRI (TDD-MRI) for differentiating TP from PsP in postoperative glioma patients.

Methods: Consecutive adult patients with suspected tumor progression after glioma surgery will undergo routine MRI, 3D-ASL, and TDD-MRI examinations. Quantitative perfusion and diffusion parameters will be extracted, and a combined imaging model will be developed and evaluated. Final diagnosis will be established according to pathological findings when available or by longitudinal clinical and imaging follow-up based on the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria.

Expected Outcomes: The primary outcome is the diagnostic performance of the combined imaging model, assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The study is expected to provide a noninvasive imaging strategy for distinguishing TP from PsP and to support clinical decision-making during postoperative follow-up.

Multiparametric MRI (3D-ASL and TDD-MRI)

Participants undergo standardized multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, including routine MRI, three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL), and time-dependent diffusion MRI (TDD-MRI). Quantitative perfusion and diffusion parameters are extracted for evaluation of their diagnostic performance in differentiating true progression from pseudoprogression after glioma surgery. No experimental therapeutic intervention is administered as part of the study.
