In the study, the preliminary results showed that the
water diffusion followed a non-Gaussian behavior by
using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in breast
lesions. The malignant tumors tended to have a
restricted diffusion pattern and an increased K value
compared to fibroadenoma. With the capability to
quantify the deviation from Gaussian distribution, the K
value may give insight into the microstructure
complexity in vivo.
