Accuracy of Central Neuro-Imaging Review of DIPG Compared with Histopathology in the International DIPG Registry

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) remains a clinico-radiologic diagnosis without routine tissue acquisition. Reliable imaging distinction between DIPG and other pontine tumors with potentially more favorable prognoses and treatment considerations is essential.
