Abstract:

Background: It is very important for surgeons to know the accurate borders of malignant bone tumors before they can precisely resect the tumors. The objective of the study is to investigate the usefulness of apparent diffusion coefficient value for estimating the extent of malignant bone tumor. Methods: VX2 tumor fragments were implanted into the tibiae of 30 rabbits. After 4 weeks, magnetic resonance plain scans were performed and then tumor specimens were cut into sagittal sections and partitioned into histology slices for dot-to-dot comparisons with microscopic findings.

Abstract:

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the male population. To determine the aggressiveness of suspected lesions precisely, predictive models are increasingly being developed using quantitative MRI measurements, and particularly the ADC value. This study aimed to determine whether ADC values could be used to establish the aggressiveness of prostate cancer. Methods: A retrospective single-center study included 398 patients with prostate cancer who underwent a multiparametric MRI prior to radical prostatectomy. DWI ADC values were measured (µm2/s) using b values of 5

Background: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced functional imaging method based on the molecular motion of water. The diffusion of the water molecules in the tissue is dependent on a number of factors. One factor that modulates the diffusion of water molecules is the cell density in the tissue and the nuclear/cytoplasmic volume ratio, which is often increased in high-grade tumors.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) in distinguishing intracranial glial tumors from tumor like nonneoplastic lesions, as well as for differentiating high- from low-grade gliomas. Methods. This retrospective study included 47 patients with solid

Background Carcinoma of the gallbladder is a malignant neoplasm, which is associated with a poor prognosis due to its often-asymptomatic nature and late-stage diagnosis. Non-invasive imaging techniques play a key role in the early detection and characterization of gallbladder carcinoma.

Abstract Introduction One of the most recent techniques in imaging tumors is the diffusion-weighted MRI. It provides information regarding the metabolic, molecular, and pathophysiological aspects of tumors, especially thyroid gland cancer. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has also been proposed as a sensitive marker for monitoring treatment response in head and neck cancers. The biophysical mechanism of DWI is based on the translational motion of water molecules in tissues. The magnitude of this motion is characterized by its apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values.

BACKGROUNDMeningiomas are the most common primary extra-axial non-glial intracranial tumors. The severe grade of meningioma, according to WHO, has the highest recurrence rate accompanied by high morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, it is imperative to perform pre-operative assessments so the clinician can give prompt treatment to gain a better prognosis. It is a novel alternative way of predicting meningioma’s malignancy by calculating the tumor’s apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value.

Additional suppression of the background signal in diffusion-weighted images (DWIBS) allows to get more contrast images to highlight areas with restricted diffusion, for example, in many malignant primary and metastatic tumors. Due to fundamental differences in DWIBS and DWI acquisition, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values may differ, which could negatively affect attempts to compare with the available literature data or with conventional DWI studies.
