Evaluation of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Thresholds for Diagnosis of Medulloblastoma Using Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

Abstract: SUMMARY -We assess a diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) analysis technique as a potential basis for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD

“…Corresponding to hyperattenuation of the tumor at CT as a feature of hypercellularity, diffusion-weighted imaging shows restricted diffusion in medulloblastomas in the vast majority of cases. The ADC (ADC minimum [ADC min ] or normalized ADC [ n ADC]) in medulloblastomas typically ranges from 0.54 3 10 −3 mm 2 /sec for ADC min to 0.70 3 10 −3 mm 2 /sec for n ADC (40). In a separate study, ADC min less than 0.66 3 10 −3 mm 2 /sec was identified as a threshold that provided maximal accuracy (41).…”

“…The translation of this tissue-based molecular classification to molecular imaging strategies or techniques can bring therapeutic and prognostic knowledge prior to surgery, which can produce better treatment outcomes. The development of specific diffusible probes (antibodies or peptides), ligated to contrast agents, is under investigation 17,18 . Extension studies must be performed in the management of this high-grade CNS tumour due to its tendency to disseminate to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and different meningeal locations.…”

“…Ambas lesiones pueden presentarse en línea media, tener componentes sólidos y quísticos, y presentarse alrededor de los cinco años de edad. Sin embargo, poseen algunas características morfológicas que pueden ayudar a distinguirlos 13,14 . Imagenológicamente el meduloblastoma es hiperdenso en la TC, con estructura heterogénea en RM, hipointenso en secuencias ponderadas en T1, e iso o discretamente hiperintenso en secuencias T2, con calcificaciones en 10-20% y un componente necrótico o cistoídeo en el 50% de los casos.…”

“…La DWI por RM ha demostrado utilidad en la diferenciación de estos tumores mediante la comparación de los valores de coeficiente de difusión aparente (ADC) intratumorales 1,[12][13][14]17 . En diversos estudios se ha demostrado que el meduloblastoma posee valores de ADC más bajos que los del ependimoma 10 .…”
