Synopsis

Keywords: Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniques, Contrast Mechanisms, Turbo Spin-echo; Multivane-XD; Intravoxel Incoherent Motion; Contrast-enhanced imaging; Nasopharyngeal carcinomaDiagnosis of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) remains challenge since the contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (CE-T1WI) may lead to harmful impact by the accumulation of contrast agent in patients and its potential adverse reactions. TSE MVXD DWI based IVIM, a considerable alternative, was performed on 32 NPC patients with significant tumors to evaluate the relation with CE-T1WI. As the result showed, the TSE MVXD DWI based IVIM had significantly relation with CE T1WI. It is potentially a promising and valuable non-invasive method in the detection of NPC.
