Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging was performed to evaluate water diffusion and
relaxation times, T1 and T2, as potential therapeutic response indicators for brain tumors using …

PREVIOUS reports have established the utility of selective catheterization of the inferior
petrosal sinus for determination of plasma ACTH concentrations in the diagnosis of pituitary-…

Recent studies have identified genes and core pathways that are altered in human glioblastoma.
However, the mechanisms by which alterations of these glioblastoma genes singly and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the use of diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) in the evaluation of new contrast-enhancing lesions and perilesional …

Functional diffusion map (fDM) has been recently reported as an early and quantitative
biomarker of clinical brain tumor treatment outcome. This MRI approach spatially maps and …

Human gliomas were imaged in vivo using ligands for the peripheral‐type benzodiazepine
site (or ω 3 binding site) and positron emission tomography (PET). Although gliomas have a …

We examined binding to excitatory amino acid and inhibitory amino acid receptors in frozen
hippocampal sections prepared from surgical specimens resected from 8 individuals with …

Neurofibromatosis is caused by the loss of neurofibromin (Nf1), leading to peripheral nervous
system (PNS) tumors, including neurofibromas and malignant peripheral nerve sheath …

The peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor/Ewing's sarcoma family tumor (pPNET/ESFT)
group includes small round cell tumors of the bone, soft tissue, and nerve with …
