For certain clinical circumstances, the differentiation between cerebellar medulloblastoma
and brainstem glioma is essential. We aimed to evaluate the role played by the apparent …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to identify clinically useful
tumor/normal brain apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) ratios for distinguishing common …

Objective: On diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images, posterior fossa tumors
may exhibit the various signal intensity and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) reflecting …

We assess a diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) analysis technique as a potential basis for
computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of pediatric posterior fossa tumors. A retrospective medical …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion
coefficient (ADC) maps provide information at MR imaging that may reflect cell attenuation …

Background Medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and pilocytic astrocytoma are common
pediatric posterior fossa tumors. These tumors show overlapping characteristics on …

Background The role of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) to reliably differentiate tumor types
and grades in pediatric cerebellar tumors is controversial. We aimed to clarify the …

Background Differentiation between cerebellar medulloblastoma and brainstem glioma is
necessary for certain clinical circumstances. We aimed to evaluate the function of diffusion …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values assist
differentiating malignancy grades in pediatric cerebellar tumors. Previous studies reported …

Introduction Some investigators have suggested that medulloblastomas can be
distinguished from other cerebellar neoplasms by demonstrating “restricted diffusion” on the …
