    Fig 1.

    Axial images of a patient with GBM. A–C, T1-weighted CE, T2-weighted SE EPI, and FA map, respectively. D, T1-weighted CE image with 4 regions of interest: tumor (necrotic/hemorrhagic core excluded) and corresponding contralateral region of interest in black and peritumoral margin and corresponding contralateral region of interest in white. E, SE EPI image with 4 regions of interest: peritumoral edema and corresponding contralateral region of interest in black and adjacent NAWM and corresponding contralateral region of interest in white. F, FA map with the region of interest of tumor in black and of peritumoral margin in white. Arrows point to areas of abnormality: gross tumor, necrotic core, peritumoral edema, and FA abnormality.

    Boxplot of mean q value shows from left to right: GBM gross tumor (G1), peritumoral edema (G2) and margin (G3), and adjacent NAWM (G4); metastases gross tumor (M1), peritumoral edema (M2) and margin (M3), and adjacent NAWM (M4); and normal brain compiled from all regions (N). Also shown are outliers: mild outliers represented by a circle and extreme outliers, by an asterisk.
