Diffusion weighted imaging is very powerful technique allows one to diagnose and differentiate glioma malignancy in vivo. Recently, the non-Gaussian diffusion models exhibited their efficacy in a detection of microsctructure changes for low and high grade gliomas. In this study we perform a comparative analysis of four diffusion models (DTI, DKI, two- and three-compartment models) in ability to provide a quantitative measure of the gliomas malignancy in vivo.
