Is diffusion-weighted MR imaging derived apparent diffusion coefficient predictive of clinical outcome in primary central nervous system lymphoma?
Our study provides evidence that ADC measurements within contrast-enhancing regions of PCNSL tumors may provide noninvasive insight into clinical outcome.
In a third of patients for whom EMS did not initiate resuscitation, resuscitation was withheld primarily because it was not desired rather than because there was evidence of irreversible death. Efforts to improve education may prevent EMS activation in these cases. An alternative EMS response could also help ensure patient autonomy and decrease costs to the EMS system.
