AB BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Differentiating treatment effects from RPT is a common yet challenging task in a busy neuro-oncologic pratice. PS probably represents a different aspect of angiogenesis and vasculature and can provide additional physiologic information about recurrent/progressive enhancing lesions. The purpose of the study was to use PS measured by using PCT to differentiate TIN from RPT in patients with previously irradiated brain tumor who presented with a recurrent/progressive enhancing lesion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-two patients underwent PCT for assessment of a recurrent/progressive enhancing lesion from January 2006 to November 2009. Thirty-eight patients who underwent surgery and histopathologic diagnosis were included in this analysis. Perfusion parameters such as PS, CBV, CBF, and MTT were obtained from the enhancing lesion as well as from the NAWM. RESULTS: Of 38 patients, 11 were diagnosed with pure TIN and 27 had RPT. Patients with TIN showed significantly lower mean PS values than those with RPT (1.8 ± 0.8 versus 3.6 ± 1.6 mL/100 g/min; P value = .001). The TIN group also showed lower rCBV (1.2 ± 0.3 versus 2.1 ± 0.7; P value < .001), lower rCBF (1.2 ± 0.5 versus 2.6 ± 1.7; P value = .004), and higher rMTT (1.4 ± 0.4 versus 1.0 ± 0.4; P value = .018) compared with the RPT group. CONCLUSIONS: PCT and particularly PS can be used in patients with previously treated brain tumors to differentiate TIN from RPT. PS estimates can help increase the accuracy of PCT in differentiating these 2 entities.
