The Role of Diffusion - Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Characterizing Focal Liver Lesions
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Focal liver lesions (FLL) present significant diagnostic challenges in clinical practice, necessitating accurate differentiation between benign and malignant entities. This paper reviews the utility of diffusion - weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW - MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements in evaluating hepatic masses. By synthesizing current literature, we aim to elucidate the diagnostic potential of DW - MRI and its implications for patient management.
