Assessment of brain tumors by magnetic resonance dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion-weighted imaging and computed tomography perfusion: a comparison study.

DSC-PWI and CTP CBF and CBV maps were comparable and interchangeable in the assessment of tumor vascularity, unlike DSC-PWI K2 and CTP PS maps that were more discordant in the analysis of tumor permeability. CTP could be an alternative method to quantify tumor neoangiogenesis when MRI is not available or when the patient does not tolerate it.
