Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI in lymphoma—comparison of global apparent diffusion coefficient histogram parameters for differentiation of diseased nodes of lymphoma patients from normal lymph nodes of healthy individuals

Morphologic features yield low diagnostic accuracy to distinguish between diseased and normal lymph nodes. The purpose of this study was to compare diseased lymphomatous and normal lymph nodes using global apparent diffusion coefficient (gADC) histogram parameters derived from whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI).1.5 Tesla WB-DWI of 23 lymphoma patients and 20 healthy volunteers performed between 09/2010 and 07/2015 were retrospectively...
