Abstract:BackgroundGliomas are highly invasive brain tumors that evade accurate geographic assessment by conventional MRI due to microscopic invasion along white matter (WM) tracts. Advanced diffusion MRI techniques are needed to assess occult WM involvement.PurposeTo evaluate peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) and peak width of skeletonized free water (PSFW), and axonal water fraction (AWF) for assessing glioma‐induced alterations in normal‐appearing WM and their relationship with isocitrate dehydrogen… 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.
