Role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma response to transcatheter arterial chemoembolization using drug eluting beads; correlation with dynamic MRI
Conclusion DWI is useful highly sensitive technique in evaluation of HCC response to DEB TACE, yet it has low specificity related to high number of false positive results preventing using it solely. Also, DWIs is a reliable method in differentiation between active tumor residue/recurrence and benign perilesional enhancement.
