Data are relative percentage changes determined by comparing the value at baseline with that at follow-up. Data in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.

Ktrans: volume transfer coefficient

iAUC: initial area under the gadolinium concentration-time curve until 60 seconds

SUV: standardized uptake value

MTV: metabolic tumor volume

TLG: total lesion glycolysis
