Bruns, Konstantin NikolaouNote the almost identical arterial input functions for baseline and follow-up which can be considered a marker of good reproducibility of individual perfusion scans. After anti-angiogenic therapy, a decline in tumor signal enhancement due to reduced tumor perfusion was observed.
