## Abstract Recent investigations have shown that tumors may be distinguished from benign lesions in the breast based on differences in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. The goal of this study was to assess the magnitude of normal variations in the measured ADC of breast parenchyma durin

## Abstract ## Purpose: To compare repeatability and reproducibility of four different methods of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) evaluation of liver parenchyma. In fact, repeatability and reproducibility assessment is mandatory in quantitative evaluations, however, these have not been accura
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the role of diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) in the detection of breast cancers, and to correlate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value with prognostic factors. ## Materials and Methods Sixty‐seven women with invasive cancer underwent breast MRI. Histo
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the use of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements based on diffusion‐weighted MRI (DWI) to assess stage of liver disease. ## Materials and Methods A total of 31 patients who underwent both a liver biopsy and DWI and 132 patients who only underwent DW
