Table 3.
Bolus wash-in slopes, ratios of Ktrans, fBV, and rCBV before and after one cycle of bevacizumab (n= 10 patients).
Perfusion MRI parameter | Baseline | After 1 cycle of bevacizumab | P |
---|---|---|---|
Bolus wash-in slopes | 1.79±1.82 | 0.58±0.37 | 0.02 |
Ktrans* | 1.79±0.78 | 1.24±0.21 | 0.03 |
fBV† | 1.83±0.80 | 1.34±0.68 | 0.01 |
rCBV†† | 1.93±0.93 | 1.23±0.28 | 0.02 |
All measurements are shown as mean ± standard deviation.
Ktrans=transfer coefficient, a marker of microvascular permeability;
fBV=fractional blood volume;
rCBV=relative cerebral blood volume.
