Can Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Combined with Texture Analysis Differentiate Malignant Glioneuronal Tumors from Other Glioblastoma?

Figure 1

From top to bottom T1-weighted MR image before and 3 min after contrast agent injection, calculated map of transfer constant ( in min−1) and of extracellular extravascular space fraction ( in %). An example of a malignant glioneuronal tumor is on the left and of a glioblastoma is on the right. The color code increases from purple to red. On the postcontrast T1 images the MGNT shows a complex structure, whereas the GBM sows a typical enhanced ring.
