Excerpt

In breast MRI, morphological and dynamic enhancement features determine whether a lesion is benign or malignant but specificity is low. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) measures microscopic motion of water and gives quantitative measurement known as the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). This study was conducted to determine whether the whole of the lesion should be included within the region of interest (ROI) or whether a small ROI would differentiate benign from malignant disease. …
