The role of apparent diffusion coefficient values in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions in diffusion-weighted MRI

PURPOSEWe aimed to determine the apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) of focal breast lesions on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and to evaluate whether ADC measurement can be used to characterize lesions as benign or malignant.MATERIALS AND METHODSFifty-one patients between...
