Feasibility study of computed high b-value diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for pediatric posterior fossa tumors

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of computed diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in pediatric posterior fossa tumors generated using high b-values. METHODS: ). RESULTS: had the highest area under the curve (AUC) value compared with other parameters (AUC: 0.976). CONCLUSION: cDWI generated using high b-values was successful in differentiating between low-grade and high-grade posterior fossa tumors without increasing imaging time. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: cDWI created using high b-values can provide additional information about tumor grade in pediatric posterior fossa tumors without requiring additional imaging time.
