BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Dynamic, contrast-enhanced MR imaging has allowed
quantitative assessment of cerebral blood volume (CBV) in brain tumors. The purpose of our …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of T2*-weighted echo-planar perfusion imaging by using a
first-pass gadopentetate dimeglumine technique to determine the association of magnetic …

Neovascularization is a common phenomenon in gliomas. MR imaging cerebral blood
volume (CBV) mapping utilizes ultrafast echo-planar imaging and simultaneous use of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Estimates of blood volume and volume transfer constant
are parameters commonly used to characterize hemodynamic properties of brain lesions …

Introduction The aim of this study is to investigate whether early changes in tumor volume
and perfusion measurements derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: After bolus injection, gadopentetate dimeglumine causes
a T2* rate change in permeable tissue that is contaminated by the T1 shortening effect due …

Purpose: To prospectively perform longitudinal magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion imaging
of conservatively treated low-grade gliomas to determine whether relative cerebral blood …

Purpose: To investigate whether estimates of relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) in brain
tumors, obtained by using dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast material–enhanced …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to correlate the degree of contrast enhancement
on dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI and the relative cerebral blood volume …

We have investigated the reproducibility of dynamic contrast enhanced imaging techniques
in nine patients with cerebral glioma. Patients were imaged twice with a 2 day interval …
