Pediatric brain glioma is a very devastating brain tumour and the most frequent solid tumour in children. Differentiating low- from high-grade glioma without the use of invasive biopsy is important to optimize patient management strategies yet difficult with imaging alone. Diffusion kurtosis imaging is then an emerging technique that has shown the ability of discriminating grades in adults. We make use of multislice approach to acquire and evaluate kurtosis metrics in brain gliomas and show how estimation of the heterogeneity of the tumour might be indicative of its grade.
