Contribution of diffusion-weighted MRI to the differential diagnosis of hepatic masses.
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic contribution of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values to the characterization of hepatic masses and differentiation of benign and malignant lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 30 patients that underwent upper abdominal MRI examinations because of hepatic masses that were found to b...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MRI of fatty liver.
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of fat infiltration on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of liver, and assess the relationship between ADC and hepatic fat fraction (HFF). MATERIALS AND METHODS MRI scans of 120 consecutive patients were included in this retrospective study. Of these, 42 patients were included in the fatty liver group and 78 in the control group. ADC values were measur...
متن کاملDifferential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast masses using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging
BACKGROUND Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is different from conventional diagnostic methods and has the potential to delineate the microscopic anatomy of a target tissue or organ. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the value of DW-MRI in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast masses, which would help the clinical surgeon to decide the scope and pattern of ope...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of diffusion-weighted MRI in the differential diagnosis of lung lesions.
PURPOSE To perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) technique in differentiating malignant from benign lung lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical and scientific literature databases were searched for studies that assessed the diagnostic performance of DWI in patients suspected of lung cancer who underwent DWI and biopsy. Only stud...
متن کاملUsefulness of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging for Differential Diagnosis of Primary Solid and Cystic Renal Masses
BACKGROUND To evaluate the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for distinguishing between benign and malignant renal masses. MATERIAL/METHODS Seventy-five patients with 75 unilateral renal lesions were included, and 75 normal contralateral kidneys served as controls. The lesions were categorized into four groups as malignant cystic, malignant solid, benign cystic and benign solid. The a...
