Fractional order calculus (FROC) diffusion model can
provide additional parameters to characterizing not only
the average diffusion speed, but also the complexity of
tissue structures. Previous studies have shown promising
results of using the FROC model to differentiate
pediatric brain tumors. In this study, we have applied
the FROC model to a group of adult gliomas patients and
demonstrated its capability of improving the MR-based
diagnostic accuracy for differentiating low-grade from
high-grade gliomas.
