Safely reducing unnecessary benign breast biopsies by applying non-mass and DWI directional variance filters to ADC thresholding

Abstract Background Thresholding apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps obtained from Diffusion-Weighted-Imaging (DWI) has been proposed for identifying benign lesions that can safely avoid biopsy. The presence of malignancies with high ADC values leads to high thresholds, limiting numbers of avo...
