Comparison of apparent diffusion coefficients and distributed diffusion coefficients in high-grade gliomas.
PURPOSE To compare apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) with distributed diffusion coefficients (DDCs) in high-grade gliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients with high-grade gliomas prospectively underwent diffusion-weighted MRI. Traditional ADC maps were created using b-values of 0 and 1000 s/mm(2). In addition, DDC maps were created by applying the stretched-exponential model using ...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficients in the evaluation of high-grade cerebral gliomas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Preliminary data indicate that apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values may be useful in identifying and grading primary cerebral tumors. We tested the hypothesis that ADC values can be used to differentiate tumor, edema, and normal brain tissue. METHODS Fifteen patients with high-grade cerebral astrocytomas underwent conventional MR imaging, diffusion-weighted MR im...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficients from high angular resolution diffusion imaging: estimation and applications.
High angular resolution diffusion imaging has recently been of great interest in characterizing non-Gaussian diffusion processes. One important goal is to obtain more accurate fits of the apparent diffusion processes in these non-Gaussian regions, thus overcoming the limitations of classical diffusion tensor imaging. This paper presents an extensive study of high-order models for apparent diffu...

متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficients for differentiation of cerebellar tumors in children.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps provide information at MR imaging that may reflect cell attenuation and integrity. We hypothesized that cerebellar tumors in children can be differentiated by their ADC values. METHODS Brain MR imaging studies that included ADC maps were retrospectively reviewed in 32 patients with histologic...
