• Wavelet-MRP offers high-contrast perfusion maps with a clear delineation of focal perfusion alterations. • Both image contrast and visual image quality were beneficial for wavelet-MRP compared to standard perfusion maps like CBV. • Wavelet-MRP can be automatically calculated from existing dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion data.
