Multiparametric quantitative analysis of tumor perfusion and diffusion with 3T MRI: differentiation between benign and malignant soft tissue tumors

Abstract

1. Pure tissue diffusion (D), transfer constant (K^trans), rate constant (K_ep), and initial area under time-signal intensity curve (iAUC) can be used to differentiate benign malignant soft tissue tumors.2. K^trans and iAUC enable differentiation of benign and malignant myxoid soft tissue tumors.
