Diffusion weighted imaging in differentiation of cervical lymphadenopthy
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Lymphadenopathy is an abnormal increase in size and/or altered consistency of the lymph nodes. Modern imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging allowed reliable detection of cervical lymph nodes. However, the differentiation of benign and malignant lymph nodes remains a challenging job. Nowadays MRI technique of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient mapping [ADC mapping], is in practice which is a non-invasive MRI technique. DWI can provide information about the lymph node biology and physiology and help us to differentiate benign from malignant lymph nodes
