Apparent diffusion coefficient in the evaluation of cerebral gliomas malignancy.
BACKGROUND/AIM Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a key modality not only for lesion diagnosis, but also to evaluate the extension, type and grade of the tumor. Advanced MRI techniques provide physiologic information that complements the anatomic information available from conventional MRI. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a correlation between apparent diffusion coeffic...
متن کاملReproducibility of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Measurements in Malignant Breast Masses
This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements in malignant breast masses, and to determine the influence of mammographic parenchymal density on this reproducibility. Sixty-six patients with magnetic resonance findings of the mass were included. Two breast radiologists measured the ADC of the malignant breast mass and the same area on the c...
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...
متن کاملThe Role of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Quantification in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Renal Masses by 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
BACKGROUND Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a widely-accepted diagnostic modality whose efficacy has been investigated by numerous past studies in the differentiation of malignant lesions from benign entities. AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the characterization of renal lesions. STUDY DESIGN...
متن کاملCharacterization of T1 hyperintense renal lesions with diffusion-weighted imaging: preliminary experience
Introduction T1 hyperintense renal lesions may represent hemorrhagic/proteinaceous cysts or neoplasms. The visual assessment of enhancement of these lesions can be difficult, and signal intensity measurements before/after contrast injection and qualitative analysis of enhancement with image subtraction can be used in that purpose. We wanted to determine the accuracy of apparent diffusion coeffi...
