Diffusion-weighted imaging in prostate cancer
AbstractDiffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), a key component in multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), is useful for tumor detection and localization in clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System versions 2 and 2.1 (PI-RADS v2 and PI-RADS v2.1) emphasize the role of DWI in determining PIRADS Assessment Category in each of the transition and peripheral zones. In addition, several recent studies have demonstrated comparable performance of abbreviated biparametric MRI (bpMRI), which incorporates only T2-weighted imaging and DWI, compared with mpMRI with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. The...

Evaluation of peripheral nerve acute crush injury in rabbits: comparison among diffusion kurtosis imaging, diffusion tensor imaging and electromyography
ConclusionsCMAP was a sensitive and reliable method to assess acute PNCI without being affected by perineural edema. DKI may not be superior to DTI in evaluating peripheral nerves, DTI with a shorter scanning time was preferred as an effective choice for evaluating acute peripheral nerve traumatic injury.
