Additionally, the usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI -MRI has recently been reporteDWI -MRI].
The usefulness of diffusion-weighted sequences will be discussed later; however, we believe that no study protocols should lack the use of such sequences (Table 1).
This study investigated the clinical usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value for preoperative differentiation between uterine leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma.
The current evidence regarding the usefulness of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion MRI) in the assessment of lymphoma is reviewed.
The current evidence regarding the usefulness of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in lymphoma is reviewed.
To explore the diagnostic usefulness of high b-value diffusion magnetic resonance brain imaging ("q-space" imaging) in multiple sclerosis (MS).
One pilot study demonstrated the usefulness of using IVIM DW imaging with ten b factors to determine the difference of pure molecular-based (D) and perfusion-related (D*, f) diffusion parameters, between patients with cirrhosis and patients without liver fibrosis [ 21].
The technology factor captured the dimensions studied with respect to the perceived usefulness and user satisfaction and is based on Rogers (1983) theory of diffusion of innovations.
Taouli et al. evaluated the usefulness of navigator echo technique for triggered diffusion sequences; they found improvement in image quality and ADC measurement compared with standard breath-hold sequences.
