Simultaneous perfusion and permeability assessments using multiband multi-echo EPI (M2-EPI) in brain tumors.

The novel M2-EPI acquisition strategy for DSC imaging facilitates leakage-corrected perfusion measurements with additional permeability assessments and more accurate estimates of perfusion/permeability parameters, and may be used as a quantitative tool for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring of brain tumors.
