  • Note:— PLD indicates preload dosing (mmol/kg); DCS, dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast–enhanced MR imaging; BLS, baseline subtraction; rCBV, relative cerebral blood volume; PTRE, posttreatment radiation effect.

  • a Range of thresholds that maximized accuracy (average of sensitivity and specificity) to diagnose tumor and PTRE specimens under each test condition.

  • b Maximum number and percentage of specimens (out of a total of 21) correctly diagnosed by rCBV thresholds.

  • c Maximum number and percentage of specimens (out of a total of 15) correctly diagnosed by rCBV thresholds.
