Abstract

Background: High-grade gliomas (HGGs) and brain metastases (BMs) can display similar imaging characteristics on conventional MRI. In HGGs, the peritumoral edema is infiltrated by the malignant cells, which was not observed in BMs. Our study aims to determine whether the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)values could differentiate HGGs from BMs

Keywords
