The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of T1-perfusion MRI and SWI in discriminating among grade II, III and IV gliomas. We found that combining T1-perfusion and SWI improves the diagnostic accuracy for discrimination of grade III from grade IV gliomas and T1-perfusion MRI derived rCBV alone appears to be an excellent measure for discriminating grade II from grade III glioma.
