Abstract:Background: High-grade gliomas (HGGs) and brain metastases (BMs) can display similar imaging characteristics on conventional MRI. In HGGs, the peritumoral edema is infiltrated by the malignant cells, which was not observed in BMs. Our study aims to determine whether the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values could differentiate HGGs from BMs. Results: Twenty patients with provisional MRI diagnosis of high grade gliomas WHO grade III & IV versus metastatic brain tumors, e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
