Apparent diffusion coefficient mapping for sinonasal diseases: differentiation of benign and malignant lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT and MR imaging features of benign and malignant sinonasal lesions are often nonspecific. Therefore, we evaluated the ADC-based differentiation of these lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively assessed ADCs of 61 patients with histologically proved sinonasal tumors and tumorlike lesions: 19 benign lesions, 28 malignant tumors, and 14 inflammatory lesions. Ov...
متن کاملDifferentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions by apparent diffusion coefficient value in mass and non-mass lesions
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is one of methods in evaluation of breast lesions. We aimed to investigate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in breast tumors and their accuracy in differentiating benign versus malignant lesions. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 72 patients with 88 breast lesions were investigated by 1.5-T breast MRI from 2015 to 2017 in Athari...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient measurements in the differentiation between benign and malignant lesions: a systematic review
OBJECTIVES To systematically review the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement in the differentiation between benign and malignant lesions. METHODS A systematic search of the Medline/Pubmed and Embase databases revealed 109 relevant studies. Quality of these articles was assessed using the Quality Assessment of the Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy Included in Systematic Revie...
متن کاملValue of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Values in Differentiating Malignant and Benign Breast Lesions.
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a diagnostic and problem solving method for the breast examinations in addition to conventional breast examination methods. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) adds valuable information to conventional MRI. AIMS Our aim was to show the impact of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values acquired with DWI to differentiate benign and maligna...
متن کاملThreshold of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient in the Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Breast Lesions on MR Mammography
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether the suggested threshold ADC measurements can be used to characterize benign and malignant breast lesions. Materials and Methods: Sixty two female patients between the ages of 15-64 years (mean age, 44 years) with 49 benign and 25 malignant histopathologically verified breast masses were included in this study. The patients were examined ...
