Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of FD-PBV imaging in meningiomas; image quality of scans including reconstructed colour coded maps and vascular images will be evaluated by neurosurgeons and an experienced neuroradiologist using a standardized scoring form. Besides a descriptive analysis of this new application, yielded images and hemodynamic parameters will be compared with MR-DCE perfusion imaging and current literature. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints of this study include: - Added value in neurosurgery, assessed by a neuroradiologist and operating neurosurgeon, - Practical workflow, extra time spent under general anaesthesia, effective contrast/radiation dose and learning curve, - (Intraclass) correlation coefficients calculated of the obtained hemodynamic parameters between imaging techniques. | — |
