We demonstrate the potential utility of DCE-MRI derived pharmacokinetic parameters in differentiating brain tumour types using the extended Tofts and the Shutter Speed Model. Results show an increasing pattern in K^trans, v_e, v_p estimates in GBM and metastasis compared to primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The τ_i estimate in GBM was the lowest, while it was highest in PCNSL.
