tility of Difussion Kurtosis Imaging for Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Musculoskeletal Lesions
Not Applicable
- Conditions
- musculoskeletal lesion
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000024381
- Lead Sponsor
- agoya City University Graduate School of Medical Science. Radiology.
- Brief Summary
MK showed a strong correction with ADC (Spearman rs=0.95). Both MK and ADC values show significant differences between benign and malignant lesions (p<0.01). The area under the curve was 0.98 and 1.00 for MK and ADC, with no differences (p=0.37).
