Introduction: With improved treatment of lymphoma more specialized imaging techniques for monitoring the follow-up are sought for. Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI provides detailed information of the integrity of the blood brain barrier, which is severely disrupted in untreated CNS lymphoma. CNS lymphoma are known to show a restricted diffusion behaviour caused by a high cellularity of the tumors. The aim of this case study was to get multiparametric information of primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) during treatment by extracting perfusion and diffusion characteristics amongst others. Three patients (A, B, C) with…
