Zoom-DWI versus general-DWI in gastric cancer: a comparative evaluation of image quality, apparent diffusion coefficient, and entropy

Zoom-DWI may serve only as a complementary sequence—not a replacement—for gastric cancer MRI and is unsuitable for quantitative assessments that rely on established diagnostic ADC thresholds, demonstrating that the two DWI sequences cannot share unified quantitative diagnostic cutoffs.

Diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging combined with DCE-MRI time-signal intensity curve for differentiating benign from malignant BI-RADS 4 breast lesions.

Both DWI parameters (especially ADC and D and TIC type) and TIC type help differentiate benign from malignant BI-RADS 4 lesions and the ADC combined with TIC model offers better diagnostic accuracy and is practical for clinical use.

Single-shot T2-Weighted Turbo Spin-echo Imaging of the Liver Improves Lesion Characterization Compared with Free-breathing Acquisition.

SS-TSE, independent of DLR, improved T2-weighted ancillary feature assessment and LI-RADS categorization of HCC over FB-TSE via a 91.8% reduction in acquisition time; DLR did not alter these outcomes but improved image quality and lesion conspicuity.

The role of diffusion-weighted imaging in breast cancer: from diagnosis to treatment monitoring and follow-up.

DWI is pivotal for personalized breast cancer care, though standardized protocols and further refinement are needed for broader clinical adoption, and artificial intelligence and radiomics enhance its utility.

Super-Resolution Deep Learning Reconstruction for 3-Dimensional T1-Weighted Gradient-Echo Imaging in Contrast-Enhanced Liver MRI: Comparison With Conventional and Standard Deep Learning Reconstructions.

PURPOSE To evaluate the image quality of super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) for 3-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted gradient-echo (GRE) imaging in contrast-enhanced MRI, compared with conventional reconstruction (Conv.) and standard deep learning reconstruction (DLR). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrosp...

Interobserver agreement of non-parallel transmission technology zoomed-diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for ordinal biparametric Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS)-based scoring in bladder cancer lesions ≥1 cm

Background Preoperative assessment of muscle invasion in bladder cancer using the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) relies heavily on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), but conventional single-shot echo-planar imaging diffusion-weighted imaging (ss-EPI-DWI) may be limited by image distortion and artifa...
