Following its success in early detection of cerebral ischemia, diffusion‐weighted imaging
(DWI) has been increasingly used in cancer diagnosis and treatment evaluation. These …

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is sensitive to the mobility of water molecule at cellular
and macromolecular level, much smaller than the spatial resolution of the images. It is …

Purpose To compare the association of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)–derived
parameters and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with the histologic grade of …

Objectives To determine whether intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)–diffusion-weighted
image (DWI)–derived parameters showed better diagnostic performance than the apparent …

Rationale and Objectives Microvascular invasion (MVI) is an important risk factor in
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but it can only be determined through histopathological …

Liver-specific magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agents are increasingly used in evaluation
of the liver. They are effective in detection and morphological characterization of lesions …

Gadoxetic acid is an MRI contrast agent that has specific applications in the study of
hepatobiliary disease. After being distributed in the vascular and extravascular spaces …

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the liver can be performed using most commercially
available machines and is currently accepted in routine sequence. This sequence has some …

Background Diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging is commonly used to distinguish between
benign and malignant liver lesions. Purpose To prospectively evaluate the true molecular …

Liver fibrosis staging is of great clinical importance because it is used to assess the severity
of the underlying chronic liver disease. Among various imaging-based methods, apparent …
