Multiple parameters of tumor microvasculature can be assessed with MRI. The accumulation of physiologically linked information might not be readily interpretable. To address this concern, we propose a cluster-based approach to highlight independent microvasular features within tumor. This strategy could distinguish two glioma models based on their cluster composition. This approach might be useful for solid tumor diagnosis as well as for the localization of pathological areas within the tumor that might become resistant to treatment.
