Comparison of various methods for quantification of apparent diffusion coefficient of head and neck lesions with HASTE diffusion-weighted MR imaging

摘要

Objectives. The purposes of this retrospective study were to compare various methods of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement for head and neck lesions in half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and determine the threshold ADC value for predicting malignancy.
