- Dynamic Contrast‐Enhanced MRI Parameters and Normalized ADC Values Could Aid Differentiation of Skull Base Osteomyelitis from Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and normalized ADC values may be useful in differentiating skull base osteomyelitis and nasopharyngeal cancer. The combination of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and normalized ADC values outperformed each measure in isolation.
- Cluster Analysis of DSC MRI, Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI, and DWI Parameters Associated with Prognosis in Patients with Glioblastoma after Removal of the Contrast-Enhancing Component: A Preliminary Study
This model showed that nonenhancing T2 high-signal-intensity lesions with relatively low normalized CBV, low volume transfer constant values, and the lowest ADC values could serve as useful prognostic imaging markers for predicting survival outcomes in patients with glioblastoma.
- SWI by 7T MR Imaging for the Microscopic Imaging Diagnosis of Astrocytic and Oligodendroglial Tumors
Visualization of the corticomedullary junction by 7T SWI was useful in distinguishing astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. Observation of tapering of the cortex was most sensitive and specific for diagnosing astrocytomas.
