Standardized acquisition and post-processing of dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion in patients with brain tumors, cerebrovascular disease and dementia: comparability of post-processing software.

CONCLUSION: Despite a highly standardized workflow, parametric perfusion maps are depended on the chosen software. Radiologists should consider software related variances when using dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion for clinical imaging and research. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This multicenter study compared perfusion parameters calculated by two commercial dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion post-processing software solutions in different central nervous system disorders with a large sample size and a highly standardized processing workflow. Despite, parametric perfusion maps are depended on the chosen software which impacts clinical imaging and research. PMID: 31617743 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
