Recently, image quality and diagnostic capability of
chest MR imaging have been improving and chest DWI were
reported the utility of diagnosis of solitary pulmonary
nodules (SPNs) including lung cancer. Under these
circumstances, it is important that comparisons of
methods for evaluating SPNs differentiation and
selecting b values result in useful contributions to
clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to
determine the appropriate parameters and evaluation
method for quantitative differentiation of SPNs by means
of DWI.
