A blood pool contrast aided T1 functional MRI in patients with brain tumors—a preliminary study
Abstract
IntroductionThe aim of our study was to determine the possibility of using a new functional technique: a T1-dependent sequence with administration of blood pool contrast agent (BPCA), in patients with brain tumors before and after surgical treatment. We also aimed to compare our results with those obtained using the fMRI technique, based on Blood Oxygenation Level-Dependent (BOLD) contrast.MethodsFor each of our 14 oncologic patients (four …
