Characterization of focal pancreatic lesions using normalized apparent diffusion coefficient at 1.5-Tesla: preliminary experience.
PURPOSE To compare the capabilities of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and normalized ADC using the pancreatic parenchyma as reference organ in the characterization of focal pancreatic lesions. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with focal pancreatic lesions (malignant, n=18; benign tumors, n=10; focal pancreatitis, n=8) underwent diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) at 1.5-Tesla us...
متن کاملAssociation of the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient of Bladder Cancer with Metastatic Disease: Preliminary Results
Introduction: Urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder is one of the most common malignancies of the urinary tract. Currently, prognosis can be difficult because no single factor can reliably predict outcome in a given patient. However, whereas 5-year survival among all cases is approximately 80%, survival among those with regional or distant spread of disease is 36% and 6% respectively. Rec...
متن کاملAcinar determinants of the apparent diffusion coefficient for helium-3.
The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) obtained by helium-3 magnetic resonance imaging over several seconds is thought to reflect diffusion impairment due to both intra- and interacinar structure. In this study, numerical simulations of intra-acinar gas mixing and effective diffusion were performed in a multiple-branch-point model of the human acinus. Using a previously described method, we c...
متن کاملProstate cancer: apparent diffusion coefficient map with T2-weighted images for detection--a multireader study.
PURPOSE To retrospectively assess the incremental value of an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map combined with T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images compared with T2-weighted images alone for prostate cancer detection by using a pathologic map as the reference standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board; informed consent w...
متن کاملPredicting Gleason Scores of Prostate Cancer Using Combined Trace Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Tumor Volume
Introduction With increasing life expectancy, prostate cancer (PCA) is becoming one of the most common forms of malignancy in men. Clinically, the Gleason Scores (GS) are commonly used to assess the aggressiveness of PCA with grades from 1 to 5. The GS is one of the parameters in a strategy of staging system that predicts prognosis and helps decision of treatment options. Magnetic resonance (MR...
