BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging is a means to
characterize and differentiate morphologic features, including edema, necrosis, and tumor …

The aim of this study was to investigate whether apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) could
be used as measures of cell density and necrotic fraction of tumors. Tumors of four human …

Object. Preserving vital cerebral function while maximizing tumor resection is a principal
goal in surgical neurooncology. Although functional magnetic resonance imaging has been …

OBJECTIVE. MR imaging of central nervous system (CNS) malignancies falls short of a
definitive evaluation. Tissue diagnosis remains the gold standard. Diffusion-tensor MR …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR spectroscopy and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)
calculation have been used frequently for tumor grading and differentiation during the last …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to find the role of diffusion-
weighted MR imaging in characterizing intracerebral masses and to find a correlation, if any …

Tumor segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images may aid in tumor treatment by
tracking the progress of tumor growth and/or shrinkage. In this paper we present the first …

We used MRI for in vivo measurement of brain water self-diffusion in patients with
intracranial tumours. The study included 28 patients (12 with high-grade and 3 with low …

PURPOSE: To determine whether diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
metrics of peritumoral edema can be used to differentiate intra-from extraaxial lesions …

PURPOSE: To (a) determine the optimal choice of a scalar metric of anisotropy and (b)
determine by means of magnetic resonance imaging if changes in diffusion anisotropy …
