Diffuse gliomas exhibit whole brain impaired cerebrovascular reactivity

Cerebral diffuse gliomas exhibit perilesional impaired cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), yet the degree of impairment as well as its full spatial extent in the brain remains unknown. With quantitative fMRI, we studied twelve subjects with untreated brain diffuse glioma and twelve healthy controls to assess CVR impairment and determine its distribution throughout the brain.
