In clinical monitoring of brain tumors, Perfusion Weigthed Imaging (PWI) contributes to tumor grading and to assess the response to treatment, as early as possible. Beyond tumor perfusion, tumor hypoxia has been shown to determine the reponse of various therapeutic approaches including radiotherapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate in patients how tissular oxygen saturation (StO2), assessed with a multiparametric qBOLD approach, could contribute to characterize brain tumors using a model-based cluster approach.
