OBJECTIVE. In this article, we present the basic principles of diffusion-weighted imaging
(DWI) that can aid radiologists in the qualitative and quantitative interpretation of DW …

Metastases to the spine can involve the bone, epidural space, leptomeninges, and spinal
cord. The spine is the third most common site for metastatic disease, following the lung and …

ABSTRACT Near‐infrared (NIR) dyes, small organic molecules that function in the NIR
region, have received increasing attention in recent years as diagnostic and therapeutic …

The significant advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hardware and software,
sequence design, and postprocessing methods have made diffusion‐weighted imaging …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the mainstay of diagnosis, staging and follow-up of
much musculoskeletal pathology. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is …

Vertebral compression fractures are very common, especially in the elderly. Benign
osteoporotic and malignant vertebral compression fractures have extremely different …

It is well known that diffusion-induced MR signal loss deviates from monoexponential decay,
particularly at high b-values (eg,> 1500 sec/mm2 for human brain tissues). A number of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Orbital inflammatory syndrome (OIS) has clinical features
that overlap with orbital lymphoid lesions and orbital cellulitis. Prompt diagnosis is needed in …

Purpose We evaluated the efficacy of using the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) to
differentiate soft tissue tumors. Materials and methods We examined 88 histologically …

In diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI), the observed MRI signal intensity
is attenuated by the self-diffusion of water molecules. DWI provides information about the …
