*ADC values should be multiplied by 10−3 and expressed in units of mm2/s.

ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; GBM, glioblastoma multiforme; max, maximum; min, minimum; PCNSL, primary CNS lymphoma; rCBV, relative cerebral blood volume; rPH, relative peak height; rPSR, relative percentage of signal recovery.
