Interhemispheric Difference Images from Postoperative Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Gliomas
Introduction Determining the full extent of gliomas during radiotherapy planning can be challenging with conventional T1 and T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purpose of this study was to develop a method to automatically calculate differences in the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) values in target volumes obtained with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) by comparing wit...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor MR imaging of high-grade cerebral gliomas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Optimizing high-grade glioma treatment requires the delineation of edematous and normal brain from tumor, perhaps by using potential differences in the absolute diffusion parameters of water. Our purpose was to determine whether mean diffusivity and diffusion anisotropic MR imaging data help in this differentiation. METHODS Nine patients with high-grade cerebral gli...
متن کاملWhite Matter Change Revealed by Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Gliomas
BACKGROUND Tumor-related white matter change is detected at late stages with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), when mass effect or prominent edema is present. We analyzed if diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) white matter change earlier than conventional MRI. METHODS Twenty-six patients with gliomas (World Health Organization grade II, 5; grade III, 12; and grade IV, 9) within 2 cm from the poste...
متن کاملDifferentiation of tumefactive demyelinating lesions from high-grade gliomas with the use of diffusion tensor imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE TDLs may be indistinguishable from high-grade gliomas on conventional MR imaging. The role of DTI in differentiating TDLs from high-grade gliomas is not clear, and quantitative comparison between the 2 has not been reported. Here we aimed to differentiate TDLs from high-grade gliomas by using DTI. MATERIALS AND METHODS DTI was performed in 8 TDLs and 13 high-grade gliom...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted Imaging and Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Assessment of the integrity of the articular cartilage is considered key for the early diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA). Diffusion-weighted imaging and diffusion tensor imaging have potential as biomarkers for cartilage composition and structure. The value of diffusion to detect compositional and structural changes in the cartilage matrix has been shown in ex vivo experiments for several years....
