           The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the 
						role of Nested Model Selection (NMS) technique in 
						Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) data analysis 
						for predicting patient survival. This study investigates 
						the predictive power of different permeability 
						parameters from different nested models for survival of 
						patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme. 20 treatment 
						nave patients with GBM were studied. A Cox proportional 
						hazards regression (CPHR) model was used to analyze the 
						survival time of the patients. This study suggests an 
						association between Ktrans, Kep and Ve of model 3 and 
						the patient survival that may be of considerable 
						clinical importance.
