Evaluation of Tumor Blood Flow Using Alternate Ascending/Descending Directional Navigation in Primary Brain Tumors: A Comparison Study with Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

ALADDIN tended to detect higher nCBF values in normal GM, as well as higher perfusion portions of primary brain tumors, than did DSC perfusion MRI. We believe that the high perfusion signal on ALADDIN can be beneficial in lesion detection and characterization.
