DSC-MR imaging could potentially benefit from the advantages associated with simultaneous multi-slice imaging, including increased spatiotemporal resolution. In the current article, we demonstrate how simultaneous multi-slice EPI can be used to improve DSC-MR imaging spatiotemporal resolution in patients with glioblastoma.rCBVrelative CBVSMSsimultaneous multi-slice %U https://www.ajnr.org/content/ajnr/39/1/43.full.pdf
