Amide proton transfer-weighted imaging (APTWI) has unique advantages in displaying the metabolism of diseased proteins. Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) can quantify the diffusion state water molecules in tissues with a non-gaussian model, thus correcting the deviation of the DWI model and improving the detection of lesions. Our results show that compared with APTWI, the DKI is more effective in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors.
