Long-term apparent diffusion coefficient value changes in patients undergoing radiosurgical treatment of meningiomas

ConclusionsADC values in conservatively managed meningiomas remain stable during the follow-up. However, meningiomas undergoing radiosurgery reveal significant change of the mean ADC values over time, suggesting that ADC may reflect a change in the biological behavior of the tumor. These observations might suggest the value of ADC changes as an indicator of treatment response.
