Optimal selection of b-values for differential diagnosis of mediastinal lymph nodes using diffusion-weighted imaging
This study proposed to investigate the optimal selection of b-values in diffusion-weighted imaging for distinguishing malignant from benign mediastinal lymph nodes. Diffusion-weighted imaging with six b-values was performed on 35 patients at 1.5 T. Image quality score, signal-to-noise ratio, and rel...
