Synopsis
Dynamic glucose-enhanced (DGE) MRI provides time intensity curves after D-glucose injection and is promising as a less invasive alternative or complement to dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. Here, we calculated non-model-based parameter maps from DGE and DCE MRI of human brain tumors, and created color-coded “curve maps”, a graphic representation of different curve shapes, to further investigate temporospatial enhancement patterns. The results show that DGE MRI can differentiate tumor from healthy brain tissue, that DGE and DCE give similar but not identical information, and that the proposed curve map approach has potential to aid in visual assessment of dynamic images.
