Total low-grade tumours 18.4 ± 8.3 32.9 ± 15.8 0.35 ± 0.5 1.2 ± 0.4 1.1 ± 0.4
Total high-grade tumours 21.5 ± 7.0 81.5 ± 15.4 0.11 ± 0.1 1.6 ± 0.5 2.7 ± 0.5

Tumour tissue perfusion in absolute measures and normalized to white matter, stratified according to WHO classification (Table 1), and listed as mean ± SD. Low grade: I-II (patients 1, 3, 4), high grade: III-IV (patients 2, 5, 7, 8, 10). Patient 6 excluded because of tumour type (meningioma). Patient 9 excluded as an outlier
