Accuracy of diffusion kurtosis imaging in characterization of breast lesions.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of diffusion kurtosis in the characterization and differentiation of breast lesions.

Methods: 49 females with 53 breast lesions underwent breast MRI. The MRI magnetic field is 1.

Whole-lesion apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) metrics as a marker of breast tumour characterization-comparison between ADC value and ADC entropy.

Objective: To prospectively assess the role of whole-lesion apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) metrics in the characterization of breast tumours by comparing ADC value with ADC entropy.

Methods: 49 patients with 53 breast lesions underwent phased-array breast coil 1.5-T MRI.
