BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Few studies have investigated the relationship between ADC and clinical outcome in HNSCC. Our hypothesis has that relatively high pretreatment ADC would correlate with local failure of HNSCC treated with radiation therapy.

Adding ADC values calculated from DWI (b value = 1500 s/mm(2)) to BI-RADS is a useful way to improve differential diagnostic accuracy for malignant tumors and benign lesions, especially for DCIS versus fibrocystic changes, except in cases of ductal hyperplasia.

In tibialis anterior, fractional anisotropy and lambda(1) decreased, but lambda(2) and lambda(3) increased (p < 0.01) as the joint angle increased. Opposite results were obtained for the gastrocnemius and soleus (p < 0.05). These results indicate that joint position affects muscle proton diffusion.
