Clinicians are frequently asked to evaluate the accurate
N-stage because it is essential for choosing the
appropriate surgical treatment for NSCLC patients. We
hypothesized that diagnostic performance for N-stage
assessment on DWI with FASE sequence had higher than
that on DWI with EPI sequence and FDG-PET/CT in NSCLC
patients. The purpose of this study was directly compare
the capability for N-stage assessment of DWI using an
FASE sequence (FASE-DWI) with that of DWI using the EPI
sequence (EPI-DWI) and PET/CT in NSCLC patients.
