 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 MR diffusion imaging diagnosis of liver tumors Of: Lei Zhang Weiguo Cai Yulin Houdeng Hua Zhu Li Gong Rui Zhao Jianguo Li Ningfu [Abstract] Objective To investigate the diffusion imaging of liver tumor lesions of the diagnosis. Methods 30 cases of liver cyst, 30 cases of hepatic cavernous hemangioma, 37 cases of primary liver cancer, 14 cases of metastatic tumor patients T1WI , T2WI, dynamic enhanced MRI and diffusion-weighted scan, the lesions were solid regional and normal regional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC value) of measured and analyzed. The results of liver cysts, liver hemangioma patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic lesions The solid part of ADC values #8203;#8203;were (2.87 + -0.57) 10-3mm2 / s, (1.99 + -0.31) 10-3mm2 / s, (1.28 + -0.23) 10-3mm2 / s, (1.17 + -0.13) 10-3mm2 / s, liver cancer and liver cysts, liver hemangioma difference was statistically significant; liver lesions in patients with metastatic solid parts of the region was no significant difference between ADC values #8203;#8203;(P = 0.276). Conclusion Magnetic resonance diffusion imaging of liver tumors of the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of a certain practical value, the identification of solid malignancies remains to be discussed. [Keywords:] Magnetic resonance; diffusion imaging; liver tumors In recent years, with the echo planar imaging (EPI) sequence of applications and the development of MRI equipment, magnetic resonance diffusion imaging studies in the application of abdominal organs developed rapidly, it reflects the organization of water molecules in the micro-motion, organizational structure can provide some information. This study focused on 800 3.0T equipment in b value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) the identification of benign and malignant tumors of the liver value. 1 Materials and methods 1.1 General information on our hospital since 2005, 3.0T MRI scanner in 111 patients on the examinat
