Predicting Glioblastoma Recurrence from Preoperative MR Scans Using Fractional-Anisotropy Maps with Free-Water Suppression

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and fractional-anisotropy (FA) maps in particular, have shown promise in predicting areas of tumor recurrence in glioblastoma. However, analysis of peritumoral edema, where most recurrences occur, is impeded by free-water contamination. In this study, we evaluated the...
