Synopsis

The clinical treatment and prognosis of oligodendrogliomas are closely related to the histopathological grade. As a non-invasive and non-contrast perfusion imaging technique, arterial spin labeling (ASL) has been widely used in studies of glioma grading. The estimation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in conventional single-delay ASL can be affected by the arterial transit time (ATT) effect. Here, multi-delay 3D ASL providing multiple hemodynamic parameters including ATT and ATT-corrected CBF was used to analyze the histogram-based perfusion features in oligodendrogliomas. Our results showed no difference in rCBF between WHO grade 2 and 3 oligodendrogliomas, but prolonged rATT in higher grade oligodendrogliomas.
