Popis: | Background: Despite documented correlation between glioma grades and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion-derived parameters, and its inherent advantages over dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion, the former remains underutilized in clinical practice. Given the inherent spatial heterogeneity in high-grade diffuse glioma (HGG) and assessment of different perfusion parameters by DCE (extravascular extracellular space volume [Ve] and volume transfer constant in unit time [k-trans]) and DSC (rCBV), integration of the two into a protocol could provide a holistic assessment. Considering therapeutic and prognostic implications of differentiating WHO grade 3 from 4, we analyzed the two grades based on a combined DCE and DSC perfusion. |
