Role of diffusion weighted MRI imaging in characterization of hepatic focal lesions in cirrhotic patients in comparison to dynamic cross sectional imaging
Abstract:Aim of work
The aim of the study is to show the feasibility of diffusion weighted (DWI) MRI with calculation of the apparent diffusion coefficient in characterization of hepatic focal lesions as well as differentiating benign from malignant lesions in cirrhotic patients.
Patients and Methods
The study included 35 patients (25 males and 10 females) by cross sectional study and convenient sampling at the Demerdash hospital, inc… Show more
