In brain tumor diagnosis, fully quantitative, multiparametric MRI offers great opportunities as it allows for comprehensive tissue and hence tumor characterization which is essential for treatment planning and monitoring the treatment response. With its highly accelerated acquisition, advanced rapid MR mapping techniques facilitate multiparametric imaging in clinically acceptable scan times, providing quantitative, reproducible and accurate diagnostic information that is less affected by system and interpretation biases. In this work, we present initial clinical results and demonstrate the feasibility of a novel 3D multiparametric quantitative transient-state imaging (QTI) acquisition scheme in glioma patients.
