چکیده
Background: Benign and malignant glioma tumors could not be differentiated in MRIimages. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements can create contrast betweenthese tumors. We aimed to quantify the differences between the ADC values of benign andmalignant Glioma tumors.Materials and Methods: MRI diffusion weighted images and pathologic findings of 56patients with glioma tumors (benign=28 and malignant=28) were used to measure the ADCvalues in tumor center, edema, boundary area between tumor with normal tissue and insidehealthy hemisphere. These values were compared between the malignant and benign tumorsusing the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results: The ADC of tumor center and edema had significant differences between malignantand benign tumors (P-value< 0.005). The ADC values in boundary areas and inside healthyhemisphere did not showed significant differences. The ADC of tumor center and edemahigher than 1.12×10-3 mm2/s (sensitivity=100%; specificity=96%) and 1.15×10-3 mm²/s(sensitivity=75%; specificity=64%) respectively, could be classified as benign and lowervalues could be classified as malignant tumors.Conclusion: The ADC values could be used as an appropriate method for differentiatingbetween the malignant and benign glioma tumors. The cut-off values founded in our studycould be a subject for future studies.کلیدواژه ها

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
