The current role and future prospectives of functional parameters by diffusion weighted imaging in the assessment of histologic grade of HCC
Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common human solid malignancies worldwide. Although the MRI is the technique that is best adapted to characterize HCC, there is not an agreement regarding the study protocol and even what the role of Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The pos...
