We analyze quantitative values in glioma obtained with MAGiC, which allows obtaining quantitative T1, T2 and PD maps in one single acquisition of less than 6 minutes for a whole brain. The maps were obtained before contrast-agent injection in 14 patients with glioma. We investigated the possibility of characterizing tumor regions based on quantitative maps acquired without contrast-agent. The results showed significant differences among tumoral tissue, tissue with T1w-enhancement, and normal white matter. Voxel-wise, this allowed to distinguish tumoral tissue but did not allow to accurately predicting T1w-enhancement. However, promising results were found predicting T1w-enhancement inside the tumor.
