Grading 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...

متن کاملpreoperative grading of astrocytic supratentorial brain tumors with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient
background diffusion-weighted imaging (dwi) is a form of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) based on measuring the random brownian motion of water molecules within the biological tissues and is particularly useful in tumor characterization. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of dw mri and the apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) for preoperative grading of a...
متن کاملPreoperative grading of presumptive low-grade astrocytomas on MR imaging: diagnostic value of minimum apparent diffusion coefficient.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Histopathologic grade of glial tumors is inversely correlated with the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). We assessed the diagnostic values of minimum ADC for preoperative grading of supratentorial astrocytomas that were diagnosed as low-grade astrocytomas on conventional MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among 118 patients with astrocytomas (WHO grades II-IV...
متن کاملRenal Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Values in Patients with Obstructive Uropathy and High Values of Creatinine
Urinary tract obstruction that causes hydronephrosis may lead to an increased pressure proximal to the obstruction, including the tubules and the renal interstitium, thus causing tubular dysfunction, a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and increased serum creatinine levels. Early diagnosis and treatment of obstructive hydronephrosis is important to preserve renal function. Imaging st...
