[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the relationship of maximum value of relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) from dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced MRI (DSC-MRI) to prognosis in patients with gliomas.Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the preoperative perfusion MR imaging in 62 histologically confirmed gliomas. Median relative CBV values were selected for quantitative analysis. Survival analysis was made by constructing survival curves using the Kaplan-Meier method with subgroups compared by Log-rank probability tests. A Cox regression model was made for multivariate analysis.Results: Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated that overall survival of high rCBVmax (≥4.47) was significantly shorter than that of low rCBVmax (<4.47) (P<0.001), overall survival of low-grade glioma was significantly longer than that of high-grade glioma (P=0.001). Incooperating rCBVmax and pathological grade, the prognosis was best for the group of LGG+rCBVmax<4.47 and worst for the group of HGG+rCBVmax≥4.47. No significant difference was found between the group of LGG+rCBVmax≥4.47 and HGG+rCBVmax<4.47(P=0.154). Multivariate analysis suggested that rCBVmax was associated with survival independent of pathology (P=0.001).Conclusions: The rCBVmax value may be an independent indicator of prognosis in patients with glioma and an adjunct to WHO grading to determine clinical individual treatment.
