Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI perfusion is a useful technique for assessment of glioma grading. This technique has been used in the past for discrimination of low from high grade gliomas. This study investigates the ability of DCE perfusion MRI to discriminate Grade II from Grade III and Grade III from Grade IV gliomas. Various DCE pharmacokinetic parameters were also analysed for their ability to distinguish the various grades of gliomas.
