Prostate cancer: apparent diffusion coefficient map with T2-weighted images for detection--a multireader study.
PURPOSE To retrospectively assess the incremental value of an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map combined with T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images compared with T2-weighted images alone for prostate cancer detection by using a pathologic map as the reference standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board; informed consent w...
متن کاملPredicting Gleason Scores of Prostate Cancer Using Combined Trace Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Tumor Volume
Introduction With increasing life expectancy, prostate cancer (PCA) is becoming one of the most common forms of malignancy in men. Clinically, the Gleason Scores (GS) are commonly used to assess the aggressiveness of PCA with grades from 1 to 5. The GS is one of the parameters in a strategy of staging system that predicts prognosis and helps decision of treatment options. Magnetic resonance (MR...

متن کاملadditional value of diffusion-weighted imaging to evaluate prognostic factors of breast cancer: correlation with the apparent diffusion coefficient
results a low adc value was associated with lymph node metastasis (p < 0.01) and with high ki-67 protein levels (p = 0.03). there were no significant differences in the adc values among the histological grade (p = 0.48), molecular subtype (p = 0.51), tumor size (p = 0.46), and p53 protein level (p = 0.62). conclusion the pre-operative use of the 3.0 tesla dwi could provide information about the...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient as a predictive biomarker of prostate cancer progression: value of fast and slow diffusion components.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to investigate whether fast and slow components of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from diffusion-weighted MR images could predict prostate cancer progression in patients managed by active surveillance. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Eighty-one patients managed by active surveillance underwent diffusion-weighted MRI in addition to T2-weighted MRI using an...
