Role of diffusion weighted MR-imaging in the evaluation of malignant mediastinal lesions

Abstract Background Conducted studies showed that the ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) values of malignant mediastinal lesions are significantly lower than those of benign lesions. Investigators determined cut-off ADC values to differentiate the two; concluding that ADC value is a promising noni...
