- Distinguishing Intracranial Solitary Fibrous Tumors from Meningiomas: The Diagnostic Value of T1-Weighted MRI Signal Intensity and ADC Values
The authors compared ADC and conventional MRI features (eg, precontrast T1 signal intensity) of intracranial SFTs and meningiomas. T1-weighted hyperintensity compared with the cortex was significantly more frequent in SFTs compared with meningiomas. Both normalized T1-weighted imaging and ADC values were higher in SFTs. A significant inverse correlation between T1-weighted and ADC values was observed only in SFTs.
