abstract = {Malignant gliomas are heterogeneous brain tumors with
extensive neovascularization. Conventional gradient-echo
dynamic susceptibility contrast (GRE-DSC) perfusion MRI may
underestimate microvascular alterations. We hypothesized
that a novel vascular model (NVM), based on Bayesian
voxel-wise transit time distribution analysis, could yield
higher perfusion metrics in untreated isocitrate
dehydrogenase (IDH)-wild-type glioblastoma compared to
standard vendor GRE-DSC algorithms.In this retrospective,
single-center study, 89 patients with neuropathologically
confirmed glioblastoma underwent pretherapeutic GRE-DSC
perfusion MRI at 1.5 or 3.0 T. Perfusion maps were generated
using both the NVM and default vendor algorithms. Using
co-registered T1-post-contrast and T2/FLAIR images, two
neuroradiologists independently assessed perfusion
conspicuity of color-coded maps for each algorithm and
manually performed region-of-interest analyses within
visually identified tumor hotspots for quantification.
Relative values of cerebral blood flow (rCBF), cerebral
blood volume (rCBV), and mean transit time (rMTT) were
normalized to contralateral normal-appearing white matter.
Nonparametric tests evaluated group differences.The NVM
yielded enhanced hotspot delineation and significantly
higher median normalized perfusion values than vendor
algorithms (all P < .001), with excellent inter-rater
reliability (Cohen's κ and intraclass correlation
coefficients ≥0.86). At 3.0 T, NVM-derived rCBV was
significantly higher than at 1.5 T (P = .008).NVM
post-processing yielded higher normalized CBF, CBV, and MTT
values within tumor hotspots than vendor pipelines,
suggesting that Bayesian model-based perfusion analysis may
enhance the detection of microvascular changes in
glioblastoma. As validation against a gold standard is
missing, prospective multicenter studies are warranted to
confirm our findings, particularly with regard to treatment
monitoring and clinical decision-making.},
