Table 4.

Change in perfusion of brain tumors by tumor volume change Mean ± SD of change in perfusion variables from baseline for each tumor region at first recheck and second recheck for dogs with increased tumor size at first recheck versus those with decreased or stable tumor size. Significant changes are indicated with an asterisk.
