Efficiency of High and Standard b Value Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Grading of Gliomas.

Conclusion: The ADC values decrease with an increase in tumor cellularity. Meanwhile, high b value provides better tissue contrast by reflecting more tissue diffusivity. Therefore, ADC-derived parameters at high b value are more useful in the grading of glioma than those obtained at standard b value. They might be a better surrogate imaging sequence in the preoperative evaluation of gliomas. PMID: 33005190 [PubMed]
