ADC1(μm2/s)ADC3(μm2/s)
High-grade glioma (n = 49)914.6 ± 278.9597.6 ± 195.9
    WHO grade III (n = 20)970.8 ± 333.6627.3 ± 248.2
    WHO grade IV (n = 29)875.9 ± 232.4577.2 ± 151.3
Low-grade (II) glioma (n = 13)1379.2 ± 428.2910.8 ± 227.1
Normal subcortical WM (n = 62)779.1 ± 70.7625.0 ± 68.9
  • Note:—WM indicates white matter; ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient.
