The relationship between fractional anisotropy value and tumor microarchitecture in late-stage rat glioma

Conclusions The FA value of rat glioma tumor in the late stage can preoperatively provide an accurate, reliable and noninvasive imaging monitoring method to evaluate the microstructure of glioma (cell density, the extent of angiogenesis, fiber bundle integrity and tumor cell infiltration and so on), predict the biological behavior of the tumor and make out surgical plan.
