DWI/ADC in Differentiation of Benign from Malignant Focal Liver Lesion

MATERIAL AND METHODS: ) and ADC map with ROI (regions of interest). The numerical value of ADC map was calculated, where n = 100 liver lesions, by two independent radiologists. RESULTS: /s, which proved to be the optimal parameter for differentiation between benign and malignant lesions. CONCLUSION: Measuring ADC values with DWI as an additional MRI tool can help in oncological practice by distinguishing normal liver parenchyma from focal lesions, and in differentiating benign from malignant liver lesions, particularly in cases where administration of contrast is not possible.
