Differentiation between Nonenhancing Tumor in Glioblastoma and Vasogenic Edema Using Diffusion-Weighted and Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast MR Imaging [RESEARCH]

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Differentiating nonenhancing glioblastoma from vasogenic edema remains a challenge in neuroimaging. This study evaluates the utility of diffusion-weighted and dynamic susceptibility contrast MR imaging, particularly ADC and relative CBV (rCBV), in distinguishing these entities.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed 111 patients diagnosed with glioblastoma with available pretreatment MRIs from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023, including 13 patients with …
