2 Aim The 200 Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO)criteria (RC) in high grade glioma, primarily designed for use in clinical trials, incorporated an improved approach to modern therapies, assessment of non-enhancing tumour, measurable and nonmeasurable disease. This study aimed to ) assess feasibility of RC application in everyday clinical practice; 2) determine whether RC use leads to greater concordance than reporting without application of response criteria; 3) determine practicality of RANO criteria use by registrar-level readers. Importantly, these criteria include an approach to the assessment of pseudoprogression, pseudoresponse, and the assessment of non-enhancing tumour component/s. Images for this section: Page 2 of 9

5 Methods and materials Serial MRI datasets, supplied with 3 monthly time points, were retrospectively collated from 0 newly diagnosed Glioblastoma patients from in South Western Sydney undergoing surgery and adjuvant chemo-radiation. Clinical status and corticosteroid usage to determine RC categories were supplied for each time-point and response categories assigned [complete response (CR), partial response (PR), progressive disease (PD) or stable disease (SD)]. Two neuro-radiologists (R,R2) and a radiology registrar (R3) independently scored each dataset according to RC, being blinded to R4 (actual reporting radiologist) reports. R4 assessments, completed with limited clinical information and no response criteria applied were categorized by an oncologist. Concordance between all four readers was documented.

6 Fig. 4: Usage example Page 6 of 9

7 Results Of 22 MRI datasets reviewed, concordance between R and R2 was 8/22(82%) compared to only 4/22(64%) between R and R4 and 6/22(73%) between R2 and R4. Concordance between R3 (trainee) and R and R2 was 7/22(77%) and 9/22(86%) respectively, compared to 5/22(68%) between R3 and R4. An imaging response category could be assigned in 2/22(95%) of R4 reports versus 00% when RC were applied. Scenarios with multi-focal lesions showed lower reader concordance. Images for this section: Fig. 5: Results summary Page 7 of 9

8 Conclusion These findings support the feasibility of RANO criteria use in clinical practice, with high concordance exceeding that of routine reports. Concordance of registrar versus radiologist-level reading was moderately high, suggesting uptake by junior staff is feasible, especially with further training and increased familiarity with scoring of complex lesions.
