Detecting isocitrate dehydrogenase gene mutations in oligodendroglial tumors using diffusion tensor imaging metrics and their correlations with proliferation and microvascular density.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations are frequently present in oligodendroglial tumors (OTs) and have prognostic value. We assessed whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics could aid the noninvasive detection of IDH mutations and their correlations with tumor proliferation and microvascular density (MVD) in OTs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety patients with OTs who underwent conventional magnetic...
