In this study, a new post-processing pipeline of resting-statefMRI (rs-fMRI)was proposed for glioma grading, with the feasibility of extracting the timing information of brain perfusion from BOLD signal. The blood arrival time obtained from rs-fMRI shows unevenly distributed perfusion patterns in tumors. A histogram-based analysis method was employed to analyze the non-uniform distribution that could extract the patterns better than the routine method. The proposed pipeline was able to classify between low- and high-grade gliomas.
