Preoperative diffusion-weighted imaging of single brain metastases correlates with patient survival times.
<h4>Background</h4>MRI-based diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) visualizes the local differences in water diffusion in vivo. The prognostic value of DWI signal intensities on the source images and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps respectively has not yet been studied in brain meta...
