Diagnostic performance of conventional MRI parameters and apparent diffusion coefficient values in differentiating between benign and malignant soft-tissue tumours

•DWI and conventional MRI both are valuable in differentiating malignant from benign SST. •Addition of DWI may be useful to improve diagnostic performance. •For non-myxoid STT group, ADCmean is the most powerful diagnostic factor. Aim To compare the abilities of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in differentiating between benign and malignant soft-tissue tumours (STT).
