Synopsis

Preoperative prediction of molecular subgroup based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains a challenge. The objective of this study was to assess amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) method in medulloblastoma (MB). Preliminary results showed that the mean value of APT value in sonic hedgehog (SHH) -activated MB tended to be higher than that of Group 4 MB.
