IVIM-related parameters (ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient;
D, true diffusivity) and DKI-related parameters (MD, mean diffusivity; MK, mean
kurtosis) were able to significantly distinguish between low- and high-grade
clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
A 65-year-old woman with pathologically confirmed
epithelioid angiomyolipoma in the left kidney. The lesion showed low signal
intensity (SI) on T2-weighted image (a). (b-g) Corresponding parametric
maps(ADC, D, D*,f, MD, MK). Tumor values (white arrow) were 0.51×10−3 mm2/s,
1.04×10−3 mm2/s, 57.8×10−3 mm2/s, 0.24, 1.67, 0.77,
respectively. (h) pathological analysis displayed changes indicating ccRCC
(Fuhrman II) (hematoxylin and eosin, ×200).
A 66-year-old man with pathologically confirmed clear
cell renal cell carcinoma in the right kidney. The lesion showed very low
signal intensity (SI) on T2-weighted image (a). (b-g) Corresponding parametric
maps (ADC, D, D*,f, MD, MK). Tumor values (white arrow) were 0.32×10−3 mm2/s,
0.92×10−3 mm2/s, 10.09×10−3 mm2/s, 0.43, 1.05, 1.01,
respectively. (h) pathological analysis confirmed ccRCC (Fuhrman IV) (hematoxylin
and eosin, ×200).
