The role of MR diffusion in differentiation of malignant and benign hepatic focal lesions

The role of MR diffusion in differentiation of malignant and benign hepatic focal lesions

Aim: To determine if focal liver masses could be differentiated as benign or malignant by DWI and ADC maps. Methods and materials: Sixty focal liver lesions were scanned using 1.5 T MRI. DWI was performed with b 0, b 500 and b 1000 gradients with ADC measurements. Comparison of mean ADC values betwe...
