Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults and carries a dismal prognosis. Significant challenges in the care of patients with GBM include marked vascular heterogeneity and arteriovenous (AV) shunting, which results in tumor hypoxia and inadequate delivery of systemic treatments to reach tumor cells. In this study, we investigated the utility of different MR perfusion techniques to detect and quantify arteriovenous (AV) shunting and tumor hypoxia in patients with GBM. Macrovascular shunting was present in 33% of subjects, with the degree of shunting ranging from (37–60%) using arterial spin labeling perfusion. Among the dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion curve features, there were a strong negative correlation between hypoxia score, DSC perfusion curve recovery slope (r = −0.72, P = 0.018) and angle (r = −0.73, P = 0.015). The results of this study support the possibility of using arterial spin labeling and pattern analysis of dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced MR Imaging for evaluation of arteriovenous shunting and tumor hypoxia in glioblastoma.
