Diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging for evaluating the histological degree of malignancy in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of high b‐value diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging ( DWI ) for evaluating the histological degree of malignancy in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm ( IPMN ). Methods A total of 35 patients (mean age 68 ± 10 years, 23 males) who had undergone DWI before surgery were included in this study. Of these 35 patients, 13 had IPMN with low‐ or...
