A Prognostic Model Based on Preoperative MRI Predicts Overall Survival in Patients with Diffuse Gliomas

Abstract

ADC values had a better correlation with overall survival than relative CBV values. A preoperative prognostic model based on patient age, relative CBV, and ADC values predicted overall survival of patients with diffuse gliomas independent of pathology. This preoperative model provides a more accurate predictor of survival than histologic grade alone.
