To explore the value of combining apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) and texture parameters from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting the pathological subtypes and stages of thymic epithelial tumors (TETs). In this study, Fifty-seven patients with TETs confirmed by pathological analysis were retrospectively enrolled. The results showed combination of ADC and DWI texture parameters improved the differentiating ability of TET grades, which could potentially be useful in clinical practice regarding the TETs evaluation before treatment.
