Assessment of Amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) MRI for pre-surgical prediction of final diagnosis in gliomas
Fig 5
T1-MPRAGE without contrast, T1-MPRAGE with Gadolinium, FLAIR, T2w and APTw in subject 9 with a low grade glioma (a-e) and subject 10 with a high grade glioma (f-j). Of note is the increased APTw signal in the high grade glioma (j) compared to the low grade glioma (e). on APTw. Also notice the increased APTw signal in blood vessel regions of all patients. Subject 9 LGG (correctly diagnosed by all) and subject 10 HGG (misdiagnosed by the initial radiological classification as MET, correctly diagnosed by APTw).
