Abstrakt: The article discusses the use of diffusion imaging techniques, such as diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and mean apparent propagator (MAP) features, in evaluating gliomas. These advanced imaging methods help predict tumor grade, genetic traits, and treatment outcomes in diffuse gliomas. The study found that MAP features were effective in evaluating gliomas, with similar performance to DKI in tumor parenchyma and better performance in peritumoral areas. While these diffusivity parameters show promise in preoperative evaluation, more research is needed to standardize and validate their clinical use. [Extracted from the article]
