Serial MRI Scan of Posterior Fossa Tumours Predict Patients at Risk of Developing Neurocognitive Impairment
Conclusion: Compared to PFT patients treated with surgery alone, PFT patients
treated with chemo-radiotherapy showed lower hippocampal volumes and altered hippocampal growth trajectory.
Serial quantitative MRI measures of brain may provide a neuroanatomical substrate for assessing functional impact
on normal brain function following treatment of posterior fossa tumours.
