Synopsis

Keywords: Prostate, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniques, lymph node, reproducibilityApparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has potential as a quantitative imaging biomarker for differentiation of malignant from benign tissue. Here, we present a phantom and in vivo measurement of ADC reproducibility and a restrospective study in over 100 patients with prostate cancer to evaluate ADC as a classifier.
