The relationship between ADC histogram-based metrics and neurofibromatosis type1 (NF1) in optic pathway gliomas (OPG) is investigated. Non-NF1 OPGs are known to carry a significantly poorer prognosis without any differences in conventional MR imaging markers. This study suggests that there are no differences in ADC-based metrics between NF1 groups either.
