  • Note:—Men indicates meningioma; HMen, hemangiopericytoma; Amen, atypical meningioma; Oligogl, oligodendroglioma; Glioblast, glioblastoma; Met, metastatic; Nt, not taken; NG, not graded; –, only 1 seed point in this tumor.

  • * Tumor Grade means WHO classification grades I–IV or NG.

  • The correlation coefficient where maximum tumor area is highlighted (tumor R value) or maximum normal area is highlighted and the tumor is excluded (normal R value).

  • The mean Pearson correlation coefficients comparing the BOLD signals from several voxels or seed points of interest (VOIs) within the same tumor.

  • § Normal Correlation indicates the mean Pearson correlation coefficient comparing the BOLD signals in the tumor with normal tissue. Normal/Tumor Correlation indicates the range of Pearson correlation coefficients comparing a tumor VOI to 3 VOIs outside the tumor.

  • Patients 7 and 10 are the same person diagnosed and treated 1 year apart.

  • Only 1 seed could be taken from this tumor.
