How Does Restricted Diffusion Aid in Treatment Planning?
Restricted diffusion can also guide treatment planning in various ways: - Treatment Response: Changes in diffusion properties can indicate how a tumor is responding to treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. An increase in ADC values post-treatment often suggests a positive response. - Surgical Margins: Identifying areas of restricted diffusion helps in defining the extent of the tumor, aiding surgeons in achieving clear margins during resection.
