Diffusion MRI is sensitive to tumor cell density • Clinical ADC and cell density are negatively correlated • (Sugahara, 1999; Lyng, 2000; Chenevert, 2000; Gaurain, 2001; Nonomura, 2001; Guo, 2002; Chen, 2005; Hayashida, 2006; Manenti, 2008; Kinoshita, 2008; Ellingson, 2010) • ADC (or mean diffusion) = cell density (“hypercellularity”) • ADC = cell density (“hypocellularity”) Edema Necrotic Core Viable Tumor (Dark) ADC Map B.M. Ellingson, Ph.D., Dept. of Radiological Sciences, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, 2011
ADC correlates with brain tumor cell density • Untreated glioma patients (WHO II-IV) underwent diagnostic stereotactic biopsy • (n = 17) biopsy sites were spatially matched to the pre-operative ADC map R2 = 0.7933; P < 0.001 ADC Sensitivity = 1.01 x 10-7 [mm2/s]/[nuclei/mm2] B.M.
