Role 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 کاملThe role of apparent diffusion coefficient values in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions in diffusion-weighted MRI.
PURPOSE We aimed to determine the apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) of focal breast lesions on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and to evaluate whether ADC measurement can be used to characterize lesions as benign or malignant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-one patients between the ages of 18-79 years (mean age, 48.5 years) with 51 histopathologically verified breast ...
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 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 کاملInvestigation of apparent diffusion coefficient and diffusion tensor anisotrophy in acute and chronic multiple sclerosis lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The various stages of multiple sclerosis (MS) are characterized by de- and remyelination as well as by inflammation. Diffusion MR imaging is sensitive to tissue water motion, which might correspond to these pathologic processes. Our purpose was to demonstrate differences in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and diffusion tensor anisotropy in acute and chronic MS plaque...
