• DCE-MRI data obtained with different prebolus T1 are significantly different, thus not comparable. • The definition of a prebolus T1 by T1 mapping is not mandatory since it does not improve the diagnostic accuracy of DCE-MRI for glioma grading. • The use of a fixed T1 value represents a valid alternative to T1 mapping for DCE-MRI analysis.
