Computed diffusion-weighted imaging (cDWI) is the newly
proposed method, and this technique has been applied
recently. The application of MRI to lung cancer analysis
has been a relatively recent development, and assessment
by means of cDWI is also expected. The purpose of this
study was therefore to directly and prospectively
compare capabilities for pulmonary nodule/mass detection
and differentiation of malignant from benign lesions
among cDWI and really acquired DWI.
