Synopsis

This study evaluated whether continuous-time random-walk (CTRW) diffusion model could be used to distinguish benign from malignant renal tumors, as well as compared the diagnostic effectiveness between the diffusion parameters of CTRW and apparent dispersion coefficient (ADC). The results demonstrated that CTRW diffusion model as a new noninvasive MR technique, was able to differentiate benign from malignant renal masses in vivo, and further improve the diagnostic efficiency of renal malignant masses compared with conventional diffusion imaging.
