Diffusion-Weighted (DW) Imaging in Ovarian Cystic Lesions: Value of DW Imaging Compared to T2-weighted Imaging at 3T MRI
Purpose : Only a few studies on diffusion weighted (DW) imaging of ovarian lesions have been reported (1-3). In previous studies, the role of DW imaging in distinguishing between benign and malignant cystic tumors may be limited. Katayama et al (3) reported that apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values may not provide additional information, especially to discriminate benign from malignant l...
متن کاملQuantitative diffusion-weighted imaging as an adjunct to conventional breast MRI for improved positive predictive value.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to investigate whether adding diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) could improve the positive predictive value (PPV) of breast MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS The retrospective study included 70 women with 83 suspicious breast lesions on DCE-MRI (BI-RADS 4 or 5) who underwent subsequent biopsy. DWI was acquired during cl...

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 کاملdiffusion weighted mri for hepatic fibrosis: impact of b-value
background hepatic fibrosis is a typical complication of chronic liver diseases resulting in cirrhosis that remains a major public health problem worldwide. liver biopsy is currently the gold standard for diagnosing and staging hepatic fibrosis. percutaneous liver biopsy; however, is an invasive procedure with risks of complications. therefore, there is need for alternative non-invasive techniq...
