Sažetak
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is garnering an increasingly important role in diagnostic evaluation of breast cancer as an adjunct to dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR). DWI depicts random thermal motion of water molecules which is affected by presence of barriers such as cell membranes and therefore reflects histologic structure of breast tissue while providing a contrast mechanism different from what is observed on conventional T1- and T2-weighted images. A quantitative measurement of diffusion is provided by calculating apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). The purpose of this study was to determine whether ADC value of normal fibroglandular tissue at 1.5T is associated with breast density on MR and the size of region of interest (ROI) used to calculate it.
