Tumour, grey matter and white matter ROIs, and tumour ROIs and grey matter ROIs normalized with white matter, listed as mean ± SD. Volume-weighted rCBF is given in ml min−1 100 ml−1. High-grade tumours are marked in bold

*Significant difference between modalities in the individual patient, p <0.05

**Significant correlation between modalities in the individual patient, p <0.05

***Significant difference between modalities in all patients, p <0.05
