Synopsis

Some novel biomarkers has emerged from the fact that apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) depends strongly on the diffusion time, such as the rate of ADC change using two diffusion times for the differentiation of breast tumor types and a cell size modeling. In this study, we propose to use Multiband (MB) SENSE to accelerate the data acquisition of OGSE and PGSE sequences and compare the diagnostic value of ADC at different diffusion times for breast tumor. Our data showed superior diagnostic performance between benign and malignant breast lesions using ADC at a short diffusion time.
