MRI-Derived ADC Histogram Analysis in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Parotid Gland Tumors: Diagnostic Performance and Interobserver Reliability
Introduction Parotid gland tumors pose a diagnostic challenge, with benign lesions vastly outnumbering malignant ones. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis offer a noninvasive approach to characterize these tumors preoperatively. This article summarizes findings from a retrospective study that evaluated the diagnostic performance of ADC histogram parameters and their interobserver reliability…

Can IVIM MRI Outperform ADC in Predicting Aggressive Endometrial Carcinoma Subtypes under FIGO 2023
Introduction and clinical context Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the second most common gynecologic cancer worldwide, with rising incidence and a spectrum of histological subtypes. The 2023 FIGO revision reshapes staging by emphasizing prognostic risk and tumor biology rather than purely anatomical spread. In this setting, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains pivotal for preoperative evaluation. Beyond…
