OBJECTIVE: Gliomas can appear radiologically diffuse or sharply delineated on MRI. This can be quantified by the T1/T2 ratio, a quotient of the T1 hypointense to T2 hyperintense tumor volume. In patients with CNS WHO grade 2 and 3 isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant astrocytomas, resectability has been shown to be limited in cases of low T1/T2 ratios, that is, in diffusely appearing astrocytomas.
