Multiparametrical diffusion weighted imaging for the detection of anaplastic transformation of low-grade gliomas
Methods The study was approved by the local ethics committee. Forty-seven patients with histopathologically proven lowgrade glioma II° were included, 28 were stable and 19 patients had post-surgical anaplastic transformation. All patients underwent pre-operative MRI, surgery and subsequent post-operative MRI follow-ups at 1.5T including T1w, T2w sequences and a DTI-protocol. The scalar indices ...
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Imaging for Glioma Grading: Analysis of Fiber Density Index
Introduction: The most common primary tumors of brain are gliomas and tumor grading is essential for designing proper treatment strategies. The gold standard choice to determine grade of glial tumor is biopsy which is an invasive method. The purpose of this study was to investigatethe role of fiber density index (FDi) by means of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (as a noninvasive method) in glial...

Background and purpose: The most common primary tumors of the central nervous system are gliomas. The gold standard choice to determine grade of glial tumor is biopsy which is an invasive method. Accurate assessment of tumor grade is important for determination of appropriate treatment strategies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of Diffusion Tensor imaging (as a non-invasive ...
متن کاملGrading of Glioma Tumors by Analysis of Minimum Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Maximum Relative Cerebral Blood Volume
Background: Gliomas are the most common primary neoplasms of the central nervous system. Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) could estimate high-grade Gliomas computed with dynamic susceptibility contrast MR imaging which it is artificially lowered by contrast extravasation through a disrupted blood-brain barrier. Objectives: Our intent was to clarify the usefulness of diffusion-weighted m...
