Abstract
We assessed the influence of inclusion (method 1) and exclusion (method 2) of intratumoral vessels when determining maximum relative cerebral blood volume (rCBVmax) in 3 types of low-grade gliomas (LGGs): astrocytomas, oligoastrocytomas, and oligodendrogliomas. Method 1 yielded significantly higher mean rCBVmax than method 2. However, only method 2 demonstrated a significant (P = .026) association between rCBVmax and membership of a differently ranked histologic category. Exclusion of intratumoral vessels appears, therefore, preferable when determining rCBVmax in LGGs.Entities:
