Quantitative Evaluation of Intravoxel Incoherent Motion and Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging in Assessment of Pathological Grade of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
ConclusionDiffusion-related parameters (D, ADC, MD, and MK) were able to significantly distinguish between low- and high-grade ccRCC. However, perfusion-related parameters (D* and f) were unable to separate high- and low-grade ccRCC. MD may be the most promising parameter for grading ccRCC in the clinic.
