Diffusion-weighted MRI in neuro-oncology [PDF]
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) provides image contrast dependent on the molecular movement of water. It has been most widely used in the diagnosis of cytotoxic edema secondary to acute cerebral ischemia, but has also proven useful in assessing tumor cellularity and grade, abscess formation, cysts and various forms of white matter disorders ...

Quantitative Diffusion-Weighted MRI of Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial, malignant, solid tumor found in children. In more than one-third of cases, the tumor is in an advanced stage, with limited resectability. The treatment options include resection, with or without (neo-/) adjuvant therapy, and conservative therapy, the latter even with curative intent.

Diffusion tensor model links to neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging at high b-value in cerebral cortical gray matter [PDF]
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) are widely used models to infer microstructural features in the brain from diffusion-weighted MRI. Several studies have recently applied both models to increase

Magnetic resonance imaging for localization of prostate cancer in the setting of biochemical recurrence [PDF]
The clinical suspicion of local recurrence of prostate cancer after radical treatment is based on the onset of biochemical failure. The use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for prostate cancer has increased over recent years, mainly ...

Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Lymphoma Restaging—Letter [PDF]
We read with interest the recent article by Mayerhoefer and colleagues ([1][1]). Their prospective study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI-MRI), a potential radiation-free alternative to FDG-PET/CT, for pretreatment staging in 140 patients with various ...

Diffusion‐weighted MRI of fatty liver
AbstractPurpose:To investigate the effect of fat infiltration on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of liver, and assess the relationship between ADC and hepatic fat fraction (HFF).Materials and Methods:MRI scans of 120 consecutive patients were included in this retrospective study. Of these, 42 patients were included in the fatty liver group and
