Advances in image quality over the past few years, mainly due to refinements in hardware
and coil systems, have made diffusion-weighted (DW diffusion weighted) magnetic …

Purpose To evaluate whether measurement of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and pure
diffusion coefficient (D) can help to characterize solid pancreatic masses. Materials and …

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is increasingly used in the detection
and characterization of pancreatic lesions. Diffusion-weighted imaging may provide …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)
in diagnosis of pancreas cancer, to compare DWI with a conventional comprehensive MRI …

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) assesses the random motion of the water protons. The
technique is more frequently used in body imaging, and recent investigations showed its use …

Purpose The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of body diffusion-weighted
(DW) MR imaging in the evaluation of a pancreatic carcinoma. Material and methods In nine …

Purpose: To compare repeatability and reproducibility of four different methods of apparent
diffusion coefficient (ADC) evaluation of liver parenchyma. In fact, repeatability and …

Purpose To compare diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) findings and the apparent diffusion
coefficient (ADC) values of pancreatic cancer (PC), mass‐forming focal pancreatitis (FP) …

Background Mass-forming focal pancreatitis (FP) may mimic pancreatic cancer (PC) on
magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and the preoperative differential diagnosis is often …
