Correlation between Magnetic Resonance Imaging Characteristics and BRAF Alteration Status in Individuals with Optic Pathway/Hypothalamic Pilocytic Astrocytomas

Conclusions: The BRAF alteration status in individuals with OPHPA was associated with preoperative MRI by focusing on T2 signal intensity and T2/FLAIR-CE mismatch. The BRAF V600E mutation was associated with a lower T2/CSF value and larger T2/FLAIR-CE mismatch, whereas K-B fusion was associated with a higher T2/CSF value and smaller T2/FLAIR-CE mismatch.Graphical abstractFx1
