 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 MRI DWI’s role in gastric cancer Of: Cao Zhihui, Hao Changsheng, Wang XR, Li Jing, Li Jinzhu, YAO Xiao group, Louming Wu, Yang Guangfu [Abstract] Objective MRI DWI’s role in the diagnosis of gastric cancer. Methods in patients with gastric cancer confirmed by pathology in 18 cases and 11 were normal, all routine MRI scans (including the cross-bit T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR, Wats and coronal B TFE was conducted after the DWI scans, contrast normal ADC values #8203;#8203;of gastric and gastric cancer. The results of the average ADC value of normal stomach (2.5473 + -0.1706 10-3mm2 / s, the mean ADC values #8203;#8203;of gastric cancer (1.7632 + -0.2107 10 -3mm2 / s (P lt;0.01. in the DWI map gastric lesions were high signal is superior to conventional MRI sequences, but the observation of the display of anatomical detail than conventional MRI. Conclusions MRI DWI and ADC value measurements are important for gastric cancer. [Keywords:] gastric cancer; magnetic resonance imaging; diffusion-weighted imaging; apparent diffusion coefficient Gastric cancer is a common disease, previous imaging in its location, nature and staging made a lot of research, including X ray, DSA, CT, US and NM [1], since the advent of MRI, people to use MRI to check the disease, its authors, made a series of routine MRI studies show [24], but the literature on MRI DWI is still small. This observation of the MRI DWI changes in gastric cancer, compared with conventional MRI to improve the Imaging diagnosis of the disease. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 Case information Collected from January 2006 to December 2008 Central Hospital in Longgang and Xi’an High-tech Medical College Hospital, confirmed by clinical pathology, MRI examination of the gastric cancer patients with complete data in 18 cases, including 15 males and 3 females, age 34 ~ 83 years, mean age 64.7 years .18 cases occurred in the gastric cardiac region of tumor in 6 cases, 8 cases of gastric body,
