Abstract | Introduction: High-Grade gliomas are the most common form of malignant brain tumours. The incidence rate of this aggressive form of brain tumour is steadily rising, with survival rates averaging approximately only 1 year, indicating that there is a need for a quicker and more proactive response during treatment and prevention. Neuroimaging is a valuable diagnostic and surveillance tool for high-grade gliomas. Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) is a perfusion imaging technique, which can quantitatively evaluate tumour biology, concentrating mostly on the microcirculation and the enhancement patterns in the surrounding tissue. By determining disease development and differentiating between stable disease, pseudo-progression and true progression, management strategies may be more effective and relevant to patient status. |
