Synopsis

A recently proposed perfusion analysis method, Quantitative Transport Mapping (QTM), was applied in malignant Glioma (grade III and IV) to obtain the flow speed map. Pathological lesions were separated into DCE-Enhancing, Darkening, and total affected ROIs. The average speed scalar for each ROI suggests that DCE-Enhancing tumor presents with significantly increased speed while non-enhancing tumor does not experience a speed change.
