متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MRI in the characterization of pleural effusions.
PURPOSE To evaluate the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS 58 pleural effusions (21 transudative, 37 exudative) were included in this prospective study. Single-shot echo-planar spin echo DWI was performed with two b factors (500 and 1000 s/mm (2)), and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) were calculated. On di...
متن کاملUtility of diffusion-weighted MRI in characterization of adrenal lesions.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to evaluate the utility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values for characterizing adrenal lesions and determine if diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can distinguish lipid-rich from lipid-poor adenomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 160 adrenal lesions in 156 patients (96 women and 60 men; mean age, 63 years). ADCs and signal i...
متن کاملRole of Apparent diffusion coefficient value in Diffusion Weighted imaging of MRI to assessment of radiotherapy efficiency in the patient with glioma tumor during treatment
Introduction: Glioma is the most common primary malignancy of cerebral neoplasms in adults, which in spite of therapeutic significant efforts, has a very poor prognosis. The current standard treatment of these patients generally includes surgery and radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy with 6 courses of adjuvant use of temozolomide tabs. During these years, the nervous...
متن کاملThe physical basis of diffusion-weighted MRI.
Diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the only technique that permits a non-invasive in vivo assessment of water molecular diffusion, which reflects tissue configuration at a microscopic level. Therefore, this technique appears to be particularly useful in monitoring brain abnormalities. However, the quantitative measurement of diffusion is not without problems, which may ...
