Correlation of volume transfer coefficient Ktrans with histopathologic grades of gliomas.
PURPOSE To evaluate the roles of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and optimum tracer kinetic parameters in the noninvasive grading of the glial brain tumors with histopathological grades (I-IV). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients with histopathologically graded gliomas were imaged. Images with five flip angles were acquired before injection of gadolinium...
متن کاملGlioma grading by microvascular permeability parameters derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and intratumoral susceptibility signal on susceptibility weighted imaging
BACKGROUND Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) estimates vascular permeability of brain tumors, and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) may demonstrate tumor vascularity by intratumoral susceptibility signals (ITSS). This study assessed volume transfer constant (Ktrans) accuracy, the volume of extravascular extracellular space (EES) per unit volume of tissue (Ve) derived from DCE-MRI, and...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of permeability for glioma grading using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
The objective of the present study was to quantitatively analyze the permeability of tumor entity and peritumor edema in glioma grading, using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). In the present retrospective study, 80 patients underwent T1-weighted DCE-MRI examination at 3.0 T and the pathological results (including astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma) were obtained be...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions
The aim of this study was to investigate the value of quantitative 3-Tesla (3T) magnetic resonance (MR) assessment in the diagnosis of breast lesions. A total of 44 patients with breast lesions were selected. All the patients underwent MR plain scanning and T1 dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging. The vascular function parameters of the lesions, namely volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate const...
متن کاملDCE and DWI in Evaluating Grades of Gliomas
Introduction: Abnormal neovascularity is a biomarker of a brain tumor and alterations in the neovascularity with tumor grade result in hemodynamic changes (1). Hence rCBV calculated from DSC perfusion data has been successful applied to evaluate grades of gliomas (2). DCE perfusion is emerging as a powerful tool for differentiating the tumor grade because the technique provides several parametr...
