The diffusion coefficient corresponding to the slow compartment of a two-compartment model had a significant positive correlation with FAZA activity (ρ = 0.58, P = 0.016), whereas the diffusional kurtosis from diffusion kurtosis imaging had a significant negative correlation (ρ = -0.62, P = 0.008), which suggests that those DWI parameters might be useful as indicators for changes in cell structure.}, pages = {276--281}, title = {Imaging of Hypoxic Tumor: Correlation between Diffusion-weighted MR Imaging and F-fluoroazomycin Arabinoside Positron Emission Tomography in Head and Neck Carcinoma.}, volume = {19}, year = {2019} }
