ADC, ADC ratios, FA, and FA ratios of lymphoma and GBM

VariableLymphomaGBMP95% CI
FA0.140 ± 0.0240.229 ± 0.069.001−0.137 to −0.040
FA ratios0.25 ± 0.040.40 ± 0.12.002−0.234 to −0.064
ADC (×10−3 mm2/s)0.630 ± 0.1550.963 ± 0.119<.001−0.463 to −0.203
ADC ratios0.83 ± 0.141.26 ± 0.13<.001−0.558 to −0.304
  • Note:—Data are the mean ± SD. FA indicates fractional anisotropy; ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; GBM, glioblastoma multiforme; CI, confidence interval. ADC and FA ratios were calculated by dividing the mean ADC or FA values of the affected hemisphere by those of the normal-appearing white matter of the contralateral hemisphere.
