Apparent diffusion coefficient values as an adjunct to dynamic contrast enhanced MRI for discriminating benign and malignant breast lesions presenting as mass and non-mass like enhancement

Apparent diffusion coefficient values as an adjunct to dynamic contrast enhanced MRI for discriminating benign and malignant breast lesions presenting as mass and non-mass like enhancement

Purpose: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of an imaging protocol that combines dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), measured by diffusion weighted MRI, in discriminating benign and malignant breast lesions presenting as mass a...
