Vascular Hysteresis Loops and Vascular Architecture Mapping in Patients with Glioblastoma treated with Antiangiogenic Therapy

Abstract In this study, we investigated the variability of vascular hysteresis loop (VHL) shapes and the spatial heterogeneity of neovascularization and microvascular alterations using vascular architecture mapping (VAM) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma during bevacizumab mono-therapy. VAM da...
