Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI) has emerged as an advanced model capable of characterizing central nervous system tissue injury and glioma pathology. However, the associations of DBSI with key characteristics of high-grade gliomas (HGGs), including proliferation and survival outcomes, remain underexplored. PURPOSE: To evaluate the associations between DBSI-derived histogram fe…
