“…[41][42][43][44] The increasing number of publications reporting a correlation between hemodynamic parameters and histologic measurements of angiogenesis, such as microvessel density, validate the use of PCT as a marker of angiogenesis. [41][42][43][44][45] Perfusion imaging of brain tumors, which has mostly used various MR perfusion techniques, can also be used for stereotactic biopsy guidance, 11 better delineation of tumor margins, 9,38 and also for assessing treatment response. 15,46 PCT shares the advantages of MR perfusion and potentially has advantages over MR perfusion because of easy accessibility, measurement of absolute perfusion values, and relatively easy postprocessing.…”
