[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the value of aquaporins function with multi b-values diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the grading diagnosis of astrocytoma.Materials and Methods: Fifty-two patients with cerebral astrocytoma underwent conventional MRI scanning and multi b value DWI scanning before surgery, of which the low-grade group (WHO Ⅰ—Ⅱ grade) were 24 cases, the high-grade group (WHO Ⅱ—Ⅳ grade) were 28 cases. Measuring the AQP-ADC values and conventional ADC values in tumoral solid part. Using independent sample t-test to compare AQP-ADC values and conventional ADC values between the low-grade group and high-grade group, ROC curve was used to compare the diagnostic performance of AQP-ADC values and conventional ADC values.Results: The AQP-ADC value in tumoral solid part of high-grade group was higher than those of low-grade group, and the conventional ADC value in tumoral solid part of high-grade group was lower than those of low-grade group, the AQP-ADC value and conventional ADC value of tumoral solid part had significant differences between the groups (P<0.01). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of AQP-ADC value and conventional ADC value was 0.891, 0.778 respectively.Conclusions: AQP-ADC value in tumoral solid part could be used to identify low grade astrocytoma from high grade astrocytoma, and was better than conventional ADC value.
