Apparent diffusion coefficient values during magnetic resonance -guided biopsy of the prostate: correlation with histological results
Introduction: Recently, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI) are introduced as additional imaging methods to improve the specificity. Langer et al. found significant differences in ADC values between normal peripheral zone tissue and cancerous tissue. In this study whole mount section histopathology was used as standard of reference. However, the c...
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 کاملEarly Changes in Apparent Diffusion Coefficient for Salivary Glands during Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Associated with Xerostomia
Objective To evaluate the early changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the salivary glands during radiotherapy (RT) and their association with the degree of xerostomia at 6 months after RT in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Materials and Methods We enrolled 26 patients with NPC who underwent RT. Each patient underwent diffusion-weighted MRI of the salivary glands...
متن کاملFunctional changes of apparent diffusion coefficient during visual stimulation investigated by diffusion-weighted gradient-echo fMRI
The signal source of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) changes induced by neural activity is not fully understood. To examine this issue, ADC-fMRI in response to a visual stimulus was obtained in isoflurane-anesthetized cats at 9.4 T. A gradient-echo technique was used for minimizing the coupling between diffusion and background field gradients, which was experimentally confirmed. In the sma...
متن کاملAging-related Changes in Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Values of the Cerebral Metabolites Using Diffusion Weighted Mr Spectroscopy
Introduction: The aging process is characterized by physiological changes which impair numerous organs and systems, especially their functions [1]. Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy (DW-MRS), which introduces pairs of diffusion gradients to MRS, is of fundamental interest because it allows evaluation of the intrinsic diffusion properties of the metabolites, which is more releva...
