Synopsis

Keywords: Diffusion Modeling, Tumor

Motivation: Accurate grading of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is essential for treatment decisions, particularly in patients with comorbidities.

Goal(s): This study aims to investigate time-dependent diffusion MRI to noninvasively characterize the microstructural properties of ccRCC and distinguish between different pathological grades.

Approach: A total of 66 patients with histologically confirmed ccRCC underwent MRI scans, and microstructural parameters were estimated using time-dependent diffusion MRI techniques.

Results: The study revealed distinct microstructural differences between low-grade and high-grade ccRCC, showing the potential of time-dependent diffusion MRI for preoperative pathological grade characterization.

Impact: This study has the potential to reshape the landscape of preoperative ccRCC grading, promote objectivity in treatment planning.
