Baseline and Early MR Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Quantification as a Predictor of Response of Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma to Doxorubicin Drug-Eluting Bead Chemoembolization

摘要

Purpose: To investigate baseline and early apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) derived from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) as a predictor of objective response (OR) and survival in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with doxorubicin drug-eluting bead (DEB) transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.
