The Functional Diffusion Map: An Imaging Biomarker for the Early Prediction of Cancer Treatment Outcome

Functional diffusion map (fDM) has been recently reported as an early and quantitative biomarker of clinical brain tumor treatment outcome. This MRI approach spatially maps and quantifies treatment-induced changes in tumor water diffusion values resulting from alterations in cell density/cell membr...
