Differentiating between Primary Central Nervous System Lymphomas and Glioblastomas: Combined Use of Perfusion- and Diffusion- Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The purpose of this study was to determine whether combined diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to differentiate between common malignant brain tumors, including lymphomas and high-grade gliomas.
