    Fig 1.

    A 52-year-old woman with a diffuse astrocytoma without IDH mutation. A, Axial T2WI demonstrates heterogeneous high signal intensity with indistinct borders on the left temporal lobe. B, Contrast-enhanced axial T1-weighted image demonstrates a lesion enhancement with blurred borders. C, A corresponding ADC map shows the tumor with a decreased ADC value (ADCmin = 0.684 × 10−3 mm2/s, rADC = 1.08). D, Correlative color CBV image shows elevated perfusion with the calculated rCBVmax of 3.10.

    Fig 2.

    A 50-year-old man with an anaplastic astrocytoma with an IDH mutation. A, Axial T2WI demonstrates heterogeneous high signal intensity with sharp borders on the right temporal lobe. B, Contrast-enhanced axial T1-weighted image demonstrates a nonenhancing lesion in the right temporal region. C, A corresponding ADC map shows the tumor with an increased ADC value (ADCmin = 1.456 × 10−3mm2/s, rADC = 2.51). D, Correlative color CBV image shows relatively low perfusion with the calculated rCBVmax of 1.86.
