Aim of this study was to investigate the influence of
contrast agent leakage on relative CBV, using clinical
scanning protocols. Three post-processing methods were
compared, concerning CBV and K2 (permeability parameter)
for data acquired with and without pre-bolus. Because of
tumor heterogeneity CBV was separately analyzed for T1
(K2>0) and T2* (K2<0) effects. Generally all methods
increased CBV for T1 and decreased CBV for T2* effects,
but differently pronounced. Future investigations should
combine the advantages of each method to improve CBV
estimation.
