Reproducibility of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Measurements in Malignant Breast Masses
This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements in malignant breast masses, and to determine the influence of mammographic parenchymal density on this reproducibility. Sixty-six patients with magnetic resonance findings of the mass were included. Two breast radiologists measured the ADC of the malignant breast mass and the same area on the c...
متن کاملAnisotropic Diffusion: From the Apparent Diffusion Coeffi cient to the Apparent Diffusion Tensor
As we have seen in previous chapters (Chapter 4 by Callaghan, and Chapter 5 by Le Bihan), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is the gold standard for measuring the diffusivity of water and other spin-labeled species. It is the least perturbing measurement imaginable, providing extremely accurate and precise data. We have also learned that the subsequent combination of the Stejskal and Tanner puls...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient of normal adrenal glands*
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility and reliability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements of normal adrenal glands. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study involving 32 healthy subjects, divided into two groups: prepubertal (PreP, n = 12), aged from 2 months to 12.5 years (4 males; 8 females); and postpubertal (PostP, n = 20), aged from 11.9 to 61 years (5 males; 1...
متن کاملThe trouble with apparent diffusion coefficient papers
This issue of Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences includes a study (Rundle-Thiele et al.) that investigates the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based estimates of water mobility in glioblastoma tumours and expression of the prognostically important gene promoter methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT). The authors address previous inconsistent reports regarding a correlati...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient normalization of normal liver
Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been reported to be a helpful biomarker for detection and characterization of lesion. In view of the importance of ADC measurement reproducibility, the aim of this study was to probe the variability of the healthy hepatic ADC values measured at 3 MR scanners from different vendors and with different field s...
