with longer survival, better treatment response, and characteristic genetic alterations …

Prognostic value of perfusion MR imaging of high-grade astrocytomas: long-term follow-up study

T Hirai, R Murakami, H Nakamura… - American journal …, 2008 - Am Soc Neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although the prognostic value of perfusion MR imaging in
various gliomas has been investigated, that in high-grade astrocytomas alone has not been …

Preoperative grading of presumptive low-grade astrocytomas on MR imaging: diagnostic value of minimum apparent diffusion coefficient

EJ Lee, SK Lee, R Agid, JM Bae… - American journal of …, 2008 - Am Soc Neuroradiology
