Apparent 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 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 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 کاملRole of apparent diffusion coefficient values in differentiation between malignant and benign solitary thyroid nodules.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Accurate imaging characterization of a solitary thyroid nodule has been clearly problematic. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in the differentiation between malignant and benign solitary thyroid nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted in 67 consecutive patients with solitary th...
متن کاملDifferentiation of benign and malignant pathology in the head and neck using 3T apparent diffusion coefficient values: early experience.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to study differences in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values between benign and malignant head and neck lesions at 3T field strength imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study population in this retrospective study was derived from the patient population who had undergone routine neck 3T MR imaging (for clinical indications) from Decemb...
