Separation of liver focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and liver malignant tumors by a combination of T2-weighted imaging signal and three diffusion magnetic resonance metrics of diffusion-derived vessel density, slow diffusion coefficient, and apparent
Liver FNH tend to have lower DDVD signal and lower SDC signal than liver MT. A LiverMss ≥4 can strongly suggest the diagnosis for a liver mass being FNH, and while a LiverMss-FNH ≤1.5 can strongly suggest the diagnosis for a liver mass being MT.
