Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess the role of Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in the evaluation of different benign and malignant brain mass lesions with his to pathological correlation.

Keywords:

apparent diffusion coefficient – ADC, brain mass lesions, diffusion-weighted imaging – DWI, magnetic resonance
