We evaluate the ability of a range of MRI techniques to probe glioblastoma invasion in a mouse model by comparison with in-plane stacked histology, enabling a direct voxel-to-voxel comparison between MRI and histology (HLA stain). We used the G7 mouse model which exhibits highly invasive tumour margins and scanned using T1 weighted, T2 weighted, T2map, Diffusion Tensor Imagining (DTI) and Perfusion Weighting Imaging (PWI). Registration of MRI datasets with stacked in-plane histology allows direct quantitative validation using DICE and ROC analysis, showing that PWI gave the best indication of tumour cell invasion.
