We investigated the difference in APT values according to histopathological grades, and compared the diagnostic value of APT with relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) from dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced (DSC) MRI and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) for histopathological grades in adult diffuse gliomas. We optimized APT imaging protocol for clinical setting and found that APT values were increased along with glioma grades, and APT values has incremental values over ADC values for glioma grading. We suggest that APT imaging can be a useful noninvasive imaging biomarker for glioma grading, in combination with ADC.
