We assessed the voxel-wise repeatability of ADC values in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma in relation to functional diffusion mapping technique. Although the intra-class correlation coefficients are relatively high, the variability of the tumor values exceeds the thresholds for stable voxels, as proposed by functional diffusion mapping, suggesting the absolute thresholding be re-evaluated.
