Apparent diffusion coefficient with higher b-value correlates better with viable cell count quantified from the cavity of brain abscess
V Tomar, A Yadav, RKS Rathore… - American journal …, 2011 - Am Soc Neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DWI by using higher b-values provides tissue diffusivity
with less T2 shinethrough effect. VCD in the abscess cavity correlates with ADC values. The …
