Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Emerging evidence shows that diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW MRI) and fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 F-FDG PET/CT) might be useful in predicting histological type and malignancy of lung cancer, and even in specifically detecting the types of gene mutation. OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether DW MRI is equivalent to PET/CT in lung...
