Developing a Predictive Grading Model for Children with Gliomas Based on Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging Metrics: Accuracy and Clinical Correlations with Patient Survival.

a DKI-based predictive model was highly accurate for pediatric glioma grading. The combined model, derived from both DTI and DKI metrics, proved that DKI-based model predictions of tumour grade were significantly correlated with progression-free survival and overall survival.
