Characterization of high-grade pineal region lesions: the usefulness of apparent diffusion coefficient volumetric values.

CONCLUSION: The ADCmean value measured on the whole tumor, reflecting tumor proliferative activity, may be a practical and non-invasive marker for predicting tumor histology in high-grade pineal region lesions and might be useful in preoperative assessment.
