One hundred and eighty-two consecutive patients with suspected liver disease were recruited to receive diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with two differentb-values, in comparison with T2-weighted imaging (T2WI). The detection rate of three MR sequences in solid focal liver lesions (FLLs) and subgroup analyses were performed. Our prospective study found that DWI600 was equivalent to DWI100 and T2WI for the detection of solid FLLs overall but was significantly more accurate in the detection of malignant solid FLLs and lesions larger than 10 mm.

Introduction: The study was designed to determine if there was a difference between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values using diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) MRI technique between different malignant focal liver lesions. Patients and methods: The study included 63 patients with focal hepatic lesions: fourteen patients (22.2%) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 16 patients (25.4%) with hepatic metastatic colorectal tumors, 17 patients (26.9%) with cavernous haemangioma and 16 patients (25.4%) with hepatic cysts. MRI was performed with 1.5T scanner, using EPI sequence with ADC values being determined for all lesions based on three b values. Results: ADC values were statistically different among the groups (F=70.7, p<0.01): HCC patients 1.11+0.29x10- 3 s/mm2, metastatic tumours 2.18+0.15x10-3 s/mm2, haemangioma 2.22+0.32x10-3 s/mm2, cysts 3.08+0.03 x10-3 s/mm2. Furthermore, there was statistically significant difference between benign lesions (haemangioma and cysts, 2.36+0.43x10-3 s/mm2), and malignant diseases (HCC and secondary tumors, 1.52+0.58x10-3 s/mm2), t=5,6, p<0.01. Conclusion: DWI technique could be helpful in defining the focal liver lesions.
