Amide proton transfer imaging-arterial spin labeling mismatch: a new imaging biomarker for pilocytic astrocytoma

Abstract We describe the potential utility of Amide Proton Transfer weighted (APTw) Magnetic Resonance Imaging and arterial spin labeling (ASL) in characterizing pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), a type of brain tumor that can be challenging to accurately diagnose and treat. The study included 50 patients...
