How to Discriminate Lung Cancer From Benign Pulmonary Nodules and Masses? Usefulness of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging With Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Inside/Wall Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Ratio.

Although ADC of DWI could differentiate lung cancer from BPNM, the inside/wall ADC ratio of DWI is efficient for differentiation between lung cancer and lung abscess. The inside/wall ADC ratio of DWI strengthens a weak point of DWI.
