BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Gd-enhancement provides essential information in the
assessment of brain tumors. However, enhancement does not always correlate with …

Purpose To determine whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) can be used to
distinguish between tumor tissue and peritumoral brain tissue in cerebral gliomas. Materials …

Purpose: To compare apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) with distributed diffusion
coefficients (DDCs) in high‐grade gliomas. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There is significant interest in whether diffusion-weighted
MR imaging indices, such as the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient, may be useful …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Preliminary data indicate that apparent diffusion
coefficient (ADC) values may be useful in identifying and grading primary cerebral tumors …

Purpose: To present comprehensive examinations of the assumptions made in functional
diffusion map (fDM) analyses and provide a biological basis for fDM classification. Materials …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) have been used to
study various diseases, particularly since echo-planar techniques shorten examination time …

Objective Glioblastoma represents the most common primary brain malignancy with a
median survival of 15 months. Follow-up examinations are crucial to establish the presence …

Background High-grade gliomas (HGGs) and brain metastases (BMs) can display similar
imaging characteristics on conventional MRI. In HGGs, the peritumoral edema may be …

Background In a considerable subgroup of glioma patients treated with (chemo) radiation
new lesions develop either representing tumor progression (TP) or treatment-related …
