QTM method can be applied to glioblastoma grading to eliminate the artery input function (AIF) dependency of kinetic modeling method.
DCE MRI of a grade IV glioblastoma (figure a). (b) and (c) Ktrans and Ve using feeding artery of the tumor, respectively. (d) sampled AIF. (e) QTM velocity magnitude map. (f) and (g) Ktrans and Ve using carotid artery of the tumor, respectively. (h) sampled AIF.
