    Tumor contrast-enhancement patterns in AG. Postcontrast T1-weighted images depict the nodular (largest focal diameter of ≤1.5 cm), patchy (largest focal diameter of >1.5 cm), and ringlike (cystic necrosis with peripheral enhancement) enhancement patterns.

    Fig 2.

    Constitution of tumor contrast enhancements between AG accompanied by mutant or wild type IDH1. The difference in contrast-enhancement rate (asterisk) between tumors from patients with mutant and wild type IDH1 was significant (P < .001). There was no significant difference in enhancement-pattern distribution between tumors from patients with mutant and wild type IDH1 (P = .135). CE indicates contrast enhancement.

    Kaplan-Meier plots of the series of 216 patients with AG showing the association between the PFS and OS according to combined IDH1 status and tumor contrast enhancement. Mutant IDH1 with no contrast enhancement predicts better survival (PFS, P = .038; OS, P = .043). mut indicates mutant; wt, wild type.

    Fig 4.

    Kaplan-Meier plots showing that the tumor contrast enhancement pattern enabled stratification of the PFS and OS of patients with mutant IDH1 (PFS, P = .022; OS, P = .029). Meanwhile, Kaplan-Meier plots show that the tumor contrast-enhancement pattern did not enable stratification of the PFS and OS of patients with wild type IDH1 (PFS, P = .896; OS, P = .842).
