Contrast Leakage Patterns from Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast Perfusion MRI in the Grading of Primary Pediatric Brain Tumors

摘要

The pattern of contrast leakage from DSC tissue signal intensity time curves have shown utility in distinguishing adult brain neoplasms, but has limited description in the literature for pediatric brain tumors. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of grading pediatric brain tumors with this technique.
