Comparison between magnetic resonance spectroscopy and diffusion weighted imaging in the evaluation of gliomas response after treatment

Highlights • We compared magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the assessment of brain tumors. • In the case of HGG, the technique that better evaluates the response to treatment appears to be the MRS. • In the case of LGG, the technique that better evaluates...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We compared magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the assessment of brain tumors. • In the case of HGG, the technique that better evaluates the response to treatment appears to be the MRS. • In the case of LGG, the technique that better evaluates the response to treatment appears to be the DWI. • Combination of DWI and MRS can help to characterize different changes related to treatment and to evaluate brain tumor response to treatment.
