Diffusion-weighted Imaging with Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Mapping for Breast Cancer Detection as a Stand-Alone-Parameter: Comparison with Dynamic Contrast-enhanced and Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging

摘要

PurposeTo compare dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping as a stand-alone parameter without any other supportive sequence for breast cancer detection and to assess its combination as multiparametric (mp)MRI of the breast.
