We highlight an unusual case of multifocal glioblastoma in an adolescent patient, manifesting as four discrete brain lesions, each distinct in appearance. Familiarity with the diverse imaging features of glioblastoma can reduce misdiagnosis and avoid treatment delays.

Regional and Volumetric Parameters for Diffusion-Weighted WHO Grade II and III Glioma Genotyping: A Method Comparison.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

March 2021

From the Neuroradiological Academic Unit (S.C.T., J.A.M, S.J.W., L.M., H.R.J.), Department of Brain, Repair and Rehabilitation, UCL Institute of Neurology, London, UK.

Background And Purpose: Studies consistently report lower ADC values in () wild-type gliomas than in mutant tumors, but their methods and thresholds vary. This research aimed to compare volumetric and regional ADC measurement techniques for glioma genotyping, with a focus on status prediction.

Materials And Methods: Treatment-naïve World Health Organization grade II and III gliomas were analyzed by 3 neuroradiologist readers blinded to tissue results.

Background A readily implemented MRI biomarker for glioma genotyping is currently lacking. Purpose To evaluate clinically available MRI parameters for predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase () status in patients with glioma. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study of patients studied from July 2008 to February 2019, untreated World Health Organization (WHO) grade II/III gliomas were analyzed by three neuroradiologists blinded to tissue results.

Objectives: To investigate if quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements can predict genetic subtypes of non-gadolinium-enhancing gliomas, comparing whole tumour against single slice analysis.

Methods: Volumetric T2-derived masks of 44 gliomas were co-registered to ADC maps with ADC mean (ADC) calculated. For the slice analysis, two observers placed regions of interest in the largest tumour cross-section.
