Diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) has been highlighted
as a new technique based on non-Gaussian water diffusion
analysis. Although recent studies have reported values
of diffusional MR imaging in glioma grading, underlining
microstructural changes corresponding to changes of
diffusion metrics are not fully elucidated. This study
investigated differences in DKI metrics among different
components within glioblastoma, by means of
voxel-by-voxel analysis. This study give us insight and
better understanding of changes in diffusion metrics of
different tissue components of glioblastoma.
