## Abstract ## Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of diffusion weighted image (DWI) in the prediction of neuroepithelial tumors grading, and to appraise the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of neuroepithelial tumors with histologic findings as a reference standa

## Abstract ## Purpose: To compare apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) with distributed diffusion coefficients (DDCs) in high‐grade gliomas. ## Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with high‐grade gliomas prospectively underwent diffusion‐weighted MRI. Traditional ADC maps were created usin
## Abstract ## Purpose To determine the utility of diffusion‐weighted MR imaging (DWI) for the diagnosis of adrenal tumors. ## Materials and Methods Forty‐two patients (24 men and 18 women; age, 61.5 ± 12.7 years old; range, 34–86 years) with 43 adrenal tumors (11 functioning cortical adenomas,
## Abstract Distinguishing between low‐grade oligodendrogliomas (ODs) and astrocytomas (AC) is of interest for defining prognosis and stratifying patients to specific treatment regimens. The purpose of this study was to determine if the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy
## Abstract Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the pleura are rare soft‐tissue tumors that are presumed to be of mesenchymal origin. Most SFTs are histologically benign, but up to 20% of SFTs may be malignant. In addition, malignant transformation may occur within histologically benign SFTs, though
## Abstract ## Purpose To identify age‐related changes and differences in the diffusion of water molecules within the prostate, through diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) of the prostate gland in healthy adult Japanese men. ## Materials and Methods A total of 114 healthy male volunteers (mean age,
