In this study, Galbán and his colleagues describe a voxel-wise approach for the quantification of tumor microvasculature properties from perfusion magnetic resonance imaging data. When compared to the standard method of using region of interest analysis of changes in relative cerebral blood flow and volume, the parametric response map approach was found to be more predictive of treatment outcomes and overall survival in individuals with high-grade glioma.
