Diffusion-weighted MR imaging in pancreatic endocrine tumors correlated with histopathologic characteristics

Endocrine pancreatic tumors: factors correlated with survival.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of patients with endocrine tumors of the pancreas, functioning or non-functioning, associated or not with MEN 1 syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty-three patients with pancreatic endocrine tumors diagnosed in our department from 1978 to 2003 were studied. RESULTS The study included 37 men (44.6%) and 46 women (55.4%). The ...

Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of Pancreatic Cancer and Chronic Pancreatitis

Diffusion-weighted Mr imaging for characterization of Focal Pancreatic lesions1

Koung Mi Kang, MD Jeong Min Lee, MD Jeong Hee Yoon, MD Berthold Kiefer, PhD Joon Koo Han, MD Byung Ihn Choi, MD Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic potential of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)–derived parameters for differentiation of common pancreatic tumors, chronic pancreatitis, and normal pancreas and for characterization of the malignancy potent...

Diffusion weighted MR imaging of parotid gland tumors

Diffusion-weighted intravoxel incoherent motion imaging of renal tumors with histopathologic correlation.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to use intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging to discriminate subtypes of renal neoplasms and to assess agreement between intravoxel incoherent motion (perfusion fraction, fp) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) metrics of tumor vascularity. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In this Health Insurance Portability and Accountabilit...
