Employing an automated percentile-based approach for rCBV selection enhances differentiation capabilities, with non-enhancing regions providing more insightful data. Elevated rCBV in lower percentiles of non-enhancing astrocytoma-4 is the most distinguishable characteristic and may indicate lowly vascularized infiltrated edema, contrasting with glioblastoma's pure edema.
