Surface‐to‐volume ratio mapping of tumor microstructure using oscillating gradient diffusion weighted imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: To disentangle the free diffusivity (D0 ) and cellular membrane restrictions, by means of their surface-to-volume ratio (S/V), using the frequency-dependence of the diffusion coefficient D(ω), measured in brain tumors in the short diffusion-time regime using oscillating gradients (OGSE). METHODS: In vivo and ex vivo OGSE experiments were performed on mice bearing the GL261 murine glioma model (n = 10) to identify the relevant time/frequency (t/ω) domain where D(ω) linearly decreases with ω(-1/2) . Parametric maps (S/V, D0 ) are compared with conventional DWI metrics. The impact of frequency range and temperature (20°C versus 37°C) on S/V and D0 is investigated ex vivo. RESULTS: The validity of the short diffusion-time regime is demonstrated in vivo and ex vivo. Ex vivo measurements confirm that the purely geometric restrictions embodied in S/V are independent from temperature and frequency range, while the temperature dependence of the free diffusivity D0 is similar to that of pure water. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that D(ω) in the short diffusion-time regime can be used to uncouple the purely geometric restriction effect, such as S/V, from the intrinsic medium diffusivity properties, and provides a nonempirical and objective way to interpret frequency/time-dependent diffusion changes in tumors in terms of objective biophysical tissue parameters.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
