Longitudinal MRI study of changes in BTB permeability and rCBV of brain metastases. by Heling Zhou (368949)

“…All the tumors except one (yellow arrowhead) still kept BTB intact at week 4. rCBV maps were created and rCBV values of the tumors were presented in the table (<b>B</b>). <b>C.</b> A total of 32 lesions in 5 animals were seen on both scans of weeks 3 and 4. rCBV of brain metastases (solid) was initially similar to that of contralateral normal brain (open; mean  = 1.05±0.05 (se) vs. 0.96±0.04), but decreased significantly (p<0.05) and became significantly lower as compared to their contralateral normal brain in the late scan (mean  = 0.88±0.06 vs. 1.00±0.06; p<0.05).…”
