CT
Head CT scan is helpful in the diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme. On head CT scan, glioblastoma multiforme is characterized by:[1]
- Butterfly shaped mass crossing midline via the corpus callosum
- Intense irregular, heterogenous enhancement of the margins
- Irregular hypodense center representing necrosis
- Marked mass effect (midline shift)
- Surrounding vasogenic edema
- Hemorrhage
- Calcification is rare
