JOURNAL CLUB: Quantitative Evaluation of Benign and Malignant Vertebral Fractures With Diffusion-Weighted MRI: What Is the Optimum Combination of b Values for ADC-Based Lesion Differentiation With the Single-Shot Turbo Spin-Echo Sequence?

Abstract

ADCs calculated with a combination of low to intermediate b values (b = 100, 250, and 400 s/mm(2)) provide the best diagnostic performance of a DW single-shot TSE sequence to differentiate acute benign and malignant vertebral body fractures.
