Recently there has been an annual increase of 2% in the
incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) worldwide. It is
detected on computed tomography or ultrasound. Diffusion
imaging has been shown to have potential in diagnosing
various malignancies. We studied RCC lesions using
diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI). We found ADC values for
RCC to be significantly lower than normal kidney tissue.
Our results suggested that DW-MRI has potential in the
prognostication of the patient and possibly could guide
in therapeutic management.
