Stratification of pseudoprogression and true progression of glioblastoma multiform based on longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging without segmentation
PURPOSE Pseudoprogression (PsP) can mimic true tumor progression (TTP) on magnetic resonance imaging in patients with glioblastoma multiform (GBM). The phenotypical similarity between PsP and TTP makes it a challenging task for physicians to distinguish these entities. So far, no approved biomarkers or computer-aided diagnosis systems have been used clinically for this purpose. METHODS To add...

متن کاملLongitudinal Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Frontotemporal Dementia
OBJECTIVE Novel biomarkers for monitoring progression in neurodegenerative conditions are needed. Measurement of microstructural changes in white matter (WM) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) may be a useful outcome measure. Here we report trajectories of WM change using serial DTI in a cohort with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). METHODS Twenty-three patients with bvFTD...
متن کاملSegmentation of corpus callosum using diffusion tensor imaging: validation in patients with glioblastoma
BACKGROUND This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) method for segmenting corpus callosum in normal subjects and brain cancer patients with glioblastoma. METHODS Nineteen patients with histologically confirmed treatment naïve glioblastoma and eleven normal control subjects underwent DTI on a 3T scanner. Based on the information inherent in diffusion tensors, a similarity measure was propo...
متن کاملbrain tissue classification based on diffusion tensor imaging: a comparative study between some clustering algorithms and their effect on different diffusion tensor imaging scalar indices
materials and methods the segmentation process is evaluated using four different clustering methods with different number of clusters where some dti scalar indices for 10 human brains are processed. results the aim was to produce results with less segmentation error and a lower computational cost while attempting to minimizing boundary overlapping and minimizing the effect of artifacts due to m...
