Role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma response to transcatheter arterial chemoembolization using drug eluting beads; correlation with dynamic MRI

Role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma response to transcatheter arterial chemoembolization using drug eluting beads; correlation with dynamic MRI

Aim: To evaluate accuracy of DWI in evaluating HCC response to DEB TACE and compare the results with DCE MRI. Material and methods: 42 patients with 59 lesions underwent precontrast abdominal MRI, DWI, ADC map with ADC value measurement and DCE MRI. The qualitative DWI and ADC values were correlated...
