The v_e is limited between 0 and 1 by definition. However, we observed large v_e when fitted the Toft’s model or its modified version to both Gd-DTPA and D₂O perfusion MRI. In this study, we modified the v_e to P_as*v_e to incorporate the asymmetry permeability into model. Therefore, the region with high P_as*v_e in D₂O perfusion imaging may be attributed to the blocked pathway of water draining, which could be correlated to glymphatic dysfunction in tumor.
