Comparing perfusion metrics obtained from a single compartment versus pharmacokinetic modeling methods using dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion MR imaging with glioma grade.

Abstract

rCBV, CBF, CBV K(trans), and V(p) measurements correlated well with histopathologic grade. rCBV was the best predictor of glioma grade, and the combination of rCBV with K(trans) was the best set of metrics to predict glioma grade.
