IDH 1 wild-type gliomas have higher
MK and lower MD values in tumor foci compared with IHD 1 mutant gliomas. Lower FA in perilesional white matter was seen in wild-type gliomas, while no difference was found in mutant patients, suggesting greater infiltrative nature in IDH 1 wild-type gliomas.

MD
(A), MK (B) and FA color (C) maps in a 35-year-old man with IDH 1-mutated
glioma (WHO II); and MD (E),
MK (F) and FA color (G) maps in a 36-year-old woman with IDH 1 wild-type glioma
(WHO II); ROIs of glioma foci, pWM and cNAWM were drawn on non-smoothed MD maps
(D and H). MD = mean
diffusion; MK = mean kurtosis; FA = fractional anisotropy; pWM = perilesional
white matter; cNAWM = contralateral normal appearing white matter;
ROI
= region of interest.

ROC curves of MK and MD values calculated from the glioma foci for
differentiating IDH 1 mutant and wild-type low-grade gliomas. The AUC of MK was
0.88 (95% CI, 0.74~1.00), MD was 0.86 (95%CI, 0.73~0.99). MK = mean kurtosis;
MD = mean diffusion.
