Dynamic contrast-enhanced-Magnetic resonance imaging is a promising noninvasive imaging method that has moderate or high accuracy in stratifying gliomas. DCE-MRI shows high diagnostic accuracy in discriminating between HGGs and their low-grade counterparts, and moderate diagnostic accuracy in discriminating recurrent lesions and treatment-related changes as well as PCNSLs and HGGs.
