2019, Journal of NeuroradiologyCitation Excerpt :Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measure the magnitude of diffusion of water molecules within a tissue. DWI and ADC have been used in differentiation of tumour types [9–12]. The purpose of our study was to assess the DWI characteristics of the two tumour types.
Grading and proliferation assessment of diffuse astrocytic tumors with monoexponential, biexponential, and stretched-exponential diffusion-weighted imaging and diffusion kurtosis imaging
2018, European Journal of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Unlike the other techniques our study used, conventional DWI has long been widely used in clinical practice. Whether this method could effectively grading gliomas yielded contradictory results in previous studies [11,37–43]. The results of the present study revealed that the conventional ADC could effectively distinguish between grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ tumors as well as between high- and low-grade DATs.
