Head CT scan is helpful in the diagnosis of glioblastoma. On head CT scan, glioblastoma is characterized by:[1]
- Irregular thick margins: iso to slightly hyper-attenuating
- Irregular hypodense centre representing necrosis
- Marked mass effect (midline shift)
- Surrounding vasogenic edema
- Hemorrhage
- Calcification is rare
- Intense irregular, heterogenous enhancement of the margins
