Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of high-field diffusion-weighted MRI (3 T) in assessing renal tumors and their cellularity.
- Thirty-seven participants, including healthy individuals and those with suspected kidney cancers, underwent various MRI scans to measure the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values before surgical removal of the tumors.
- The findings indicate that DW-MRI can distinguish between normal kidney tissue and tumors, with a significant inverse correlation found between ADC values and tumor cellularity.
