Journal ArticleDOI
Value of diffusion-weighted MRI for assessing liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
Kumaresan Sandrasegaran,Fatih Akisik,Chen Lin,Bilal Tahir,Janaki Rajan,Romil Saxena,Alex M. Aisen +6 more
TL;DR: The ADCs in cirrhotic livers are significantly lower than those in nonfibrotic livers, however, ADC values measured using the current generation of scanners are not reliable enough to replace liver biopsy for staging hepatic fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of Conventional MRI Sequences and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Differentiating Malignant From Benign Portal Vein Thrombus in Cirrhotic Patients
Kumaresan Sandrasegaran,Bilal Tahir,Kavitha Nutakki,Fatih Akisik,Uttam K. Bodanapally,Mark Tann,Naga Chalasani +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and conventional MRI (non-DWI sequences) in differentiating benign portal vein thrombus (PVT) from malignant PVT in cirrhotic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Value of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Characterizing Focal Liver Masses
TL;DR: Solid liver lesions have a lower ADC than cysts and hemangiomas, however, there is no significant difference in ADC between solid benign and malignant lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of diffusion-weighted MRI to differentiate chronic pancreatitis from pancreatic cancer.
Kumaresan Sandrasegaran,Kavitha Nutakki,Bilal Tahir,Aginiprakash Dhanabal,Mark Tann,Gregory A. Cote +5 more
TL;DR: The addition of DWI to conventional MRI does not facilitate differentiation of pancreatic cancer from chronic pancreatitis, and the presence of a well-defined mass favoring the diagnosis of cancer was the only finding that differentiated the two groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
The usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging in the characterization of liver lesions in patients with cirrhosis
Kumaresan Sandrasegaran,Bilal Tahir,Aashish A. Patel,Raja S. Ramaswamy,K. Bertrand,Fatih Akisik,R. Saxena +6 more
TL;DR: Visual analysis of DWI was useful in that no HCC was hypointense and no BHN was hyperintense to liver, but quantitative measurements may not help in determining the histological grade of individual cases of HCC.
