Gliomas: Diffusion Kurtosis MR Imaging in Grading

TLDR
There were significant differences in kurtosis parameters between high-grade and low-grade gliomas; hence, better separation was achieved with these parameters than with conventional diffusion imaging parameters.
Abstract
Mean kurtosis and linearly related kurtosis tensor parameters are potential new noninvasive biomarkers in the grading of gliomas.

Diffusion kurtosis imaging: an emerging technique for evaluating the microstructural environment of the brain.

TL;DR: Diffusion kurtosis imaging provides independent and complementary information to that acquired with traditional diffusion techniques that may indicate the complexity of the microstructural environment of the imaged tissue and may lead to broad-reaching applications in all aspects of neuroradiology.

Breast Cancer: Diffusion Kurtosis MR Imaging—Diagnostic Accuracy and Correlation with Clinical-Pathologic Factors

TL;DR: DKI showed higher specificity than did conventional diffusion-weighted imaging for assessment of benign and malignant breast lesions and patients with grade 3 breast cancer or tumors with high expression of Ki-67 were associated with higher kurtosis and lower diffusivity coefficients; however, this association must be confirmed in prospective studies.

Grading of Gliomas by Using Monoexponential, Biexponential, and Stretched Exponential Diffusion-weighted MR Imaging and Diffusion Kurtosis MR Imaging

TL;DR: Water molecular diffusion heterogeneity index and mean kurtosis values may provide additional information and improve the grading of gliomas compared with conventional diffusion parameters.

The link between diffusion MRI and tumor heterogeneity: Mapping cell eccentricity and density by diffusional variance decomposition (DIVIDE)

TL;DR: DIVIDE allows non-invasive mapping of parameters that reflect variable cell eccentricity and density in brain tumors and constitutes convincing evidence that a link exists between specific aspects of tissue heterogeneity and parameters from dMRI.

Diffusion tensor imaging: Concepts and applications

TL;DR: The concepts behind diffusion tensor imaging are reviewed and potential applications, including fiber tracking in the brain, which, in combination with functional MRI, might open a window on the important issue of connectivity.

Diffusional kurtosis imaging: The quantification of non-gaussian water diffusion by means of magnetic resonance imaging

TL;DR: From the study of six healthy adult subjects, the excess diffusional kurtosis is found to be significantly higher in white matter than in gray matter, reflecting the structural differences between these two types of cerebral tissues.

The B-matrix must be rotated when correcting for subject motion in DTI data.

TL;DR: A systematic study to investigate the effect of neglecting to reorient the B‐matrix on DTI data during motion correction is presented and the consequences for diffusion fiber tractography are discussed.
