To characterize gliomas from dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-based cerebral blood volume (CBV) maps, a CBV value from a normal-appearing region of interest is typically identified manually and used to normalize the CBV maps. This method is user-dependent and time-consuming. We propose an alternative approach based on automatic identification of normal-appearing first-pass curves from brain tissue. Our results in 101 patients suggest similar or better diagnostic accuracy values than the manual approach.
为了从基于动态对比磁共振成像(DSC)的脑血容量(CBV)图中对脑胶质瘤进行特征描述,通常需要手动识别正常感兴趣区的 CBV 值,并用于对 CBV 图进行归一化。这种方法依赖于用户且耗时。我们提出了一种基于从脑组织中自动识别正常首过曲线的替代方法。我们在 101 例患者中的结果表明,与手动方法相比,该方法具有相似或更好的诊断准确性值。
