Evaluation of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with regards to reproducibility and diagnostic accuracy as well as possible significance of pre - and post - contrast acquisition and employment of different b values
ADC values are slightly lower when acquiring b values 0/800 and post-CM. This effect does not reduce the diagnostic performance but may be relevant in case of definite cut-offs in medical decision making.
