BACKGROUND Hepatic fibrosis is a typical complication of chronic liver diseases resulting in cirrhosis that remains a major public health problem worldwide. Liver biopsy is currently the gold standard for diagnosing and staging hepatic fibrosis. Percutaneous liver biopsy; however, is an invasive procedure with risks of complications. Therefore, there is need for alternative non-invasive techniq...
متن کاملSignal Intensity of High B-value Diffusion-weighted Imaging for the Detection of Prostate Cancer
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. Objective: To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an...
متن کاملHigh b-value diffusion-weighted MRI of normal brain.
PURPOSE As MR scanner hardware has improved, allowing for increased gradient strengths, we are able to generate higher b values for diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging. Our purpose was to evaluate the appearance of the normal brain on DW MR images as the diffusion gradient strength ("b value") is increased from 1,000 to 3,000 s/mm2. METHOD Three sets of echo planar images were acquired at 1.5 T i...
متن کاملAccuracy of high b-value diffusion-weighted MRI for prostate cancer detection: a meta-analysis.
Background The diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to detect prostate cancer is well-established. DWI provides visual as well as quantitative means of detecting tumor, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Recently higher b-values have been used to improve DWI's diagnostic performance. Purpose To determine the diagnostic performance of high b-value DWI at detecting prost...
