Preoperative and postoperative images in a 55-year-old female patient with IDH-wildtype glioblastoma. (A) Axial T2-weighted preoperative image and (B) T1-weighted postcontrast image demonstrate a large necrotic mass with surrounding T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintense signal abnormality in the right parietal lobe with mass effect causing leftward midline shift. (C) Axial postoperative bone window CT scan and (D) axial T2-weighted image show evenly spaced radiation seeds (GammaTiles) outlining the resection cavity.
