Figures & Tables

Figure 1

(A-F) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) measurements at the enhancing rim and peritumoral edema. (G-I) example of a FA map used to locate the ROI at the selected regions: enhancing rim, peritumoral oedema, and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM).

Figure 5

Diagram representation of the significant correlations between diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)- magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) biomarkers at the selected regions: normal-appearing white matter (NAWM), enhancing rim and peritumoral edema. Notice that NAWM and the enhancing rim share four pairs of biomarkers correlations; while in peritumoral oedema ten pairs of correlations were exclusive of that region.
