| Abstract | ||
| Paper aims the experimental evaluating of the possibilities of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of brain tumors in six different modality maps. Initially, the tumors were discovered on contrast agent enhanced MPRAGE (Magnetization Prepared Rapid Gradient Echo) images. Then, using the obtained MPRAGE information, tumors were located on the six maps, namely: TT (T2/T2*-blood/water signal), SD (Standard Deviation), KP (Kurtosis as width of Peak), FA (Fractional Anisotropy), MK (Mean Kurtosis), and MD (Mean Diffusivity). The highest intensity region of the tumor mass on TT-map was searched and then the intensity values in the same voxel on the rest of the maps were measured. The table of the intensity values for all the 6 maps of all the 44 investigated patients was created and the correlations from these maps were calculated. | ||
