Abstract
Introduction: The objective of the study was to investigate the correlation between differences between imaging modalities and histological heterogeneity in minimally enhancing glioma. Methods: A prospective study was performed in 11 patients with minimally enhancing glioma (10%. The correlation between the imaging discrepancy and histological heterogeneity was investigated. Results: The average T/N ratio for the T2/FL+/MET+ area in grade II glioma (2.08 ± 0.4) was smaller than that in grade III (4.19 ± 2.4), whereas that for the T2/FL+/MET− area was similar in grade II (1.07 ± 0.2) and III (1.07 ± 0.1). The average T/N ratio for the T2/FL+/MET+ area in grade II and III was higher than that for the T2/FL+/MET− area (p
