AFMM (ADC FLAIR MisMatch) is defined as an area of low ADC within FLAIR abnormality associated with a brain tumor. The aim of this study is to determine if areas of AFMM represent increased cellularity by histologic analysis of spatially-correlated ex-vivo issue acquired and processed in three patients with high grade gliomas.
