## 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 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 ## Purpose To determine how the ADC value of parotid glands is influenced by the choice of __b__‐values. ## Materials and Methods In eight healthy volunteers, diffusion‐weighted echo‐planar imaging (DW‐EPI) was performed on a 1.5 T system, with __b__‐values (in seconds/mm^2^) of 0, 5
## Abstract ## Purpose: To evaluate differences in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values between head, body, and tail regions and the impact of sets of b‐values used in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) of the normal pancreas. ## Materials and Methods: In 51 healthy volunteers echo‐planar D
## Abstract ## Purpose To show the signal intensity varies with shot number in diffusion‐weighted (DW) echo‐planar imaging (EPI) and affects apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculation. ## Materials and Methods This prospective study was performed on 35 adult patients and 20 volunteers. Mea
