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.
Figure 1. 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.
Figure 3. 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.
