Diffusion-weighted imaging findings of mucinous carcinoma arising in the ano-rectal region: comparison of apparent diffusion coefficient with that of tubular adenocarcinoma
To determine the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) characteristics of ano-rectal mucinous carcinoma. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and DWI findings for mucinous and tubular adenocarcinomas were retrospec...

Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) for Breast Cancers; Challenging to Diagnose Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) and Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC)
Diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) visualizes the thermal motion of protons in tissue, which is less affected by the state of the background mammary gland and therefore has sufficient capability to diagnose DCIS ...

Comparison of diffusion-weighted images using short inversion time inversion recovery or chemical shift selective pulse as fat suppression in patients with breast cancer
Fat suppression is essential for diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the body. However, the chemical shift selective (CHESS) pulse often fails to suppress fat signals in the breast. The purpose of this study w...

Feasibility of diffusion-weighted imaging under split breath-hold acquisition and postprocessing (DWI-SBAP): an attempt to suppress hepatic pseudo-anisotropy
To suppress hepatic pseudo-anisotropy, which is a specific artifact in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the liver obtained under respiratory triggering, the authors developed a novel acquisition technique f...

Hepatic pseudo-anisotropy: a specific artifact in hepatic diffusion-weighted images obtained with respiratory triggering
Hepatic pseudo-anisotropy is an artifact observed in hepatic diffusion-weighted imaging under respiratory triggering (RT-DWI). To determine the clinical significance of this phenomenon, hepatic RT-DW images we...

Computer-Aided Detection of Breast Cancer Using an Ultra High-Resolution Liquid Crystal Display: Reading Session Analysis
We performed a reading session to examine the validity of computer- aided detection for mammograms using a 3-megapixel liquid crystal display (LCD). Digital mammograms of 225 patients (ROLAD M-IV and FCR9000, ...
