Measurement of arteriolar blood volume in brain tumors using MRI without exogenous contrast agent administration at 7T

Arteriolar cerebral‐blood‐volume (CBVa) is an important perfusion parameter that can be measured using inflow‐based vascular‐space‐occupancy (iVASO) MRI without exogenous contrast agent administration. The purpose of this study is to assess the potential diagnostic value of CBVa in brain tumor patients by comparing it with total‐CBV (including arterial, capillary and venous vessels) measured by dynamic‐susceptibility‐contrast (DSC) MRI.
