Comparison of utility of tumor size and apparent diffusion coefficient for differentiation of low- and high-grade clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.

CONCLUSION:: There was a weak significant correlation between tumor size and ADC value of clear-cell RCC. Using ROC and regression analysis, ADC was statistically significant index for distinguishing low-grade from high-grade clear-cell RCC more than tumor size and ADC/size ratio.
