In this study, we investigated the potential of DTI metrics for differentiation tumor types with a substantially larger cohort (n = 222) and also its performance in comparison with two experienced neuroradiologists. 128 glioblastomas and 94 brain metastases were included in this study. Two neuroradiologists independently reviewed the images. Diagnostic performance was evaluated using ROC curve for the two raters and logistic regression model (LRM). Our result indicates that our model is as good as experienced neuroradiologist. Furthermore, it was found that the accuracy of LRM model did not vary as much as those of the raters depending on the selection of the cases.
