An independent component analysis with ball-stick model
(ICA+BSM) was proposed to solve an intra-voxel crossing
fiber problem in clinical diffusion tensor imaging
(DTI). This study investigates whether the ICA+BSM
analysis can be combined with isotropic diffusion
spectrum imaging (IDSI) technique to assess the degree
of cellularity in tumor-infiltrated white matter tissues
in clinical DTI. Compared with apprarent diffusion
coefficient image, which provided a moderate accuracy of
0.457 to detect tumor cells in the active tumor region
delinated by [11C]methyl-L-tryptophan (AMT)-positron
emission tomography, IDSI-derived cell ratio yielded a
much higher accuracy of 0.969 in conventional receiver
operating characteristic curve analysis.
