The position dependence of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by echo-planar imaging (EPI)- and turbo spin echo (TSE)-diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) was ass...
Six pure water-filled containers were placed parallel to the direction of the static magnetic field from the center of the magnetic field to the foot direction (five containers) and the head direction...
ADC decreased significantly with distance from the center of the magnetic field for both EPI-DWI and TSE-DWI (P < 0.05). TSE-ADC was significantly higher than EPI-ADC for all combinations (P < 0.01). ...
ADC depends on the slice position and decreases with an increase in distance from the magnetic field center. Caution should be taken when comparing and quantitatively evaluating the ADC at sites shift...
In this paper, we present a robust reconstruction scheme for diffusion MRI (dMRI) data acquired using slice-interleaved diffusion encoding (SIDE). When combined with SIDE undersampling and simultaneou...
To examine the diagnostic performance of a three-compartment diffusion model with the fixed cut-off diffusion coefficient (D) using magnetic resonance spectral diffusion analysis for differentiating b...
This retrospective study included women who underwent breast MRI with eight b-value diffusion-weighted imaging between February 2019 and March 2022. Spectral diffusion analysis was performed; very-slo...
Histologically confirmed 132 ICD and 62 DCIS (age range 31-87 [53 ± 11] years) were evaluated. The areas under the curve (AUCs) for ADC, MK, D...
Three-compartment model analysis using the diffusion spectrum accurately differentiated IDC from DCIS; however, it was not superior to ADC and D...
High rates of recidivism are reported after paediatric cholesteatoma surgery. Our practice has adapted to include non-echoplanar diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of resi...
A retrospective review was conducted of non-echoplanar diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans performed to detect residual disease or recurrence after surgery for cholesteatoma in childre...
Thirty-four diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans were included. The sensitivity and specificity values of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for detecting post-operative chol...
Use of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is recommended as a replacement for routine second-look surgical procedures in the paediatric population. However, we would caution that patients r...
Magnetic resonance diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is an emerging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that can reflect microstructural changes in tissue through non-Gaussian diffusion of water...
Restricted retinal diffusion (RDR) has recently been recognized as a frequent finding on standard diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). However, data on early DW...
Consecutive CRAO patients with DWI performed within 24 h after onset of visual impairment were included in a bicentric, retrospective cross-sectional study. Two blinded neuroradiologists assessed rand...
Sixty eight CRAO patients (68.4 ± 16.8 years; 25 female) with 72 DWI scans (76.4% 3 T, 23.6% 1.5 T) were included. Mean time-delay between onset of CRAO and DWI acquisition was 13.4 ± 7.0 h. Overall R...
DWI-based detection of retinal ischemia in early CRAO is likely to be time-dependent with superior diagnostic accuracy for DWI performed 12-24 h after onset of visual impairment....
We investigated the efficacy of using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping in the diagnosis of maxillary diseases....
We evaluated 146 cases of maxillary diseases (32 malignant tumors, 11 benign tumors, 28 maxillary cysts, 60 cases of maxillary sinusitis, and 15 maxillary sinus retention cysts) that had been examined...
Mean ADC values for malignant tumors (1.07 × 10...
The use of ADC values can be useful in the differential diagnosis of malignant maxillary diseases, benign lesions, cysts, and inflammatory and reactive conditions....
PyDesigner is a Python-based software package based on the original Diffusion parameter EStImation with Gibbs and NoisE Removal (DESIGNER) pipeline (Dv1) for dMRI preprocessing and tensor estimation. ...
Over the last few years, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has become increasingly relevant in the diagnostic assessment of peritoneal carcinomatosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the benef...
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by autonomic failure, ataxia, and/or parkinsonism. Its prominent pathological alterations can be investigated using diffusion...
