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.
