Role 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 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 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 کاملSegmentation of Ischemic Lesion from Diffusion Weighted MRI and MR Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Maps
The utility of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) in the assessment of acute ischemic stroke is now becoming well-established. The quantitative evaluation of the lesion is however problematic because of the lower resolution of clinical images in the context of extreme emergency. We have developed a new segmentation technique to extract the ischemic areas from standard, clinical DWI image volumes. Tho...
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...
