BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
There are multiple MRI perfusion techniques, with limited available literature comparing these techniques in the grading of pediatric brain tumors. For efficiency and limiting scan time, ideally only one MRI perfusion technique can be used in initial imaging. We compared DSC, dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE), and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) along with ADC from DWI for differentiating high- versus low-grade pediatric brain tumors.
