Differentiating inflammatory and malignant pulmonary lesions on 3T lung MRI with radiomics of apparent diffusion coefficient maps and T2w derived radiomic feature maps.

ADC and T2 maps differentiate inflammatory and malignant pulmonary lesions with outstanding (ADC) and excellent (T2w derived feature maps) diagnostic performance. MRI could thus guide the further diagnostic workup and a timely initiation of the appropriate therapy.
