Combination amide proton transfer imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging for differentiating tumor characteristics and assessing Ki-67 expression in soft tissue tumors
The APT imaging and DWI can effectively differentiate between benign and malignant STTs. Combining these techniques enhances diagnostic efficiency. Furthermore, APT and ADC values show a significant correlation with tumor Ki-67 levels, which provides a robust basis for predicting STTs aggressiveness.
