Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in bladder cancer and the potential role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in predicting pathological bladder cancer phenotypes associated with clinical aggressiveness were investigated. METHODS: One hundred and four bladder cancer patients underwent DW-MRI and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging...
