Transfer constant (Ktrans) and extravascular extracelluar space (ve) can be used in differentiating high-grade and low-grade gliomas. Extravascular extracelluar space (ve) was the most predictive parameter using DCE-MRI in our series. Further investigation of extravascular extracelluar space (ve) is needed in this stage.
