Background Hepatic steatosis, the pathognomonic and earliest histologic feature of NAFLD,
is characterized by the intracellular accumulation of triglycerides within hepatocytes. In some …

The morbidity and mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rank 6 th and 4 th,
respectively, among malignant tumors worldwide. Traditional diffusion-weighted imaging …

Purpose Without a standard test for pancreatic carcinomas, this highly lethal disease is
normally diagnosed at its advanced stage, leading to a low survival rate of patients …

BACKGROUND: Early preeclampsia is associated with significant placental hypoperfusion.
We explore the diagnostic value of placental diffusion-derived vessel density (DDVD), a …

Since its discovery in the 1980s [1], diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), a non-invasive imaging
method that does not require any tracer injection, has experienced exponential growth …

Purpose Noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis holds significant clinical importance. We
aimed to evaluate the clinical potential of using a continuous-time random-walk diffusion …

For liver intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) data acquisition, respiratory‐triggering (RT) MRI
is commonly used, and there are strong motivations to shorten the scan duration. For the …

Spleen micro-perfusion level can be evaluated by DDVD (diffusion derived vessel density):
DDVD (unit: au/pixel)= Sb0/ROIarea0–Sb2/ROIarea2, where Sb0 and Sb2 refer to the …

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer-
related death worldwide. Angiogenic factors may be valuable indices of tumor recurrence …

Diffuse liver diseases are highly prevalent conditions around the world, including
pathological liver changes that occur when hepatocytes are damaged and liver function …
