PWI : basic principles

• Two major approaches – Gadolinium

• DSC : dynamic susceptibility contrast imaging : CBV, CBF, TTM • DCE : dynamic contrast enhanced imaging : K trans

– No gadolinium

• ASL Arterial Spin Labelling imaging

• Use of perfusion MRI – Study tumor behavior • Vascular normalisation

• Prediction for progression? Anticipation or site ?
