Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in autoimmune pancreatitis
Japanese Journal of Radiology, 2009The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI MRI) for the diagnosis and evaluation of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP).A total of 4 consecutive patients with AIP, 5 patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (CP), and 13 patients without pancreatic disease (controls) were studied.

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Alzheimer’s Disease
Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders, 1999Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a powerful new magnetic resonance imaging technique for evaluating tissue pathophysiology in vivo. We performed DWI in three orthogonal spatial directions in 10 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and 11 control subjects.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of pancreas tumours
European Radiology, 2009The 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 (MRI-c) and to analyse apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of lesions.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the management of cholesteatoma
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2009Diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI has recently increasingly gained popularity in the diagnosis of post-operative cholesteatoma. The aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the usefulness of echo-planar imaging (EPI) for the diagnosis of residual cholesteatoma. Fifty patients underwent DW-EPI before surgery.

Diffusion-weighted imaging in pediatric body magnetic resonance imaging
Pediatric Radiology, 2016Diffusion-weighted MRI is being increasingly used in pediatric body imaging. Its role is still emerging. It is used for detection of tumors and abscesses, differentiation of benign and malignant tumors, and detection of inflamed bowel segments in inflammatory bowel disease in children.

Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Prostate
2018Prostate cancer is the most common cancer type among men. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) plays a critical role in detection and targeted sampling of localized disease. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an integral component of mpMRI. DWI is documented to not only aid lesion detection but also to enable to understand aggressiveness of localized prostate ...

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Head and Neck
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 2010Our aim was to review the clinical applications of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the head and neck. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging plays a role in the differentiation of benign from malignant head and neck tumors, squamous cell carcinoma from lymphoma, and metastatic from benign lymphadenopathy as well as in the ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Diffusion Weighted Imaging Appearance of Cerebellar Liponeurocytoma
2008 International Conference on BioMedical Engineering and Informatics, 2008Cerebellar liponeurocytoma is a rare benign neuroepithelial tumor. We describe the case of a 50- year-old man, presenting with signs of increased intracranial pressure and cerebellar dysfunction. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a heterogeneous, well-circumscribed cerebellar mass with a predominant adipose content.

Evolving Importance of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Lymphoma
PET Clinics, 2012Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a rapidly evolving functional imaging modality that can now be used for the evaluation of lymphomatous lesions throughout the body. This article describes the basics of (whole-body) DWI, and reviews and discusses the evolving importance of whole-body DWI for the staging and therapy response ...
