Application of Diffusion Weighted MRI Versus CT in Evaluation of the Effect of Treating Lung Cancer

NCT02320617 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of ADC value of diffusion weighted MRI in comparison of conventional treatment assessment criteria in evaluation of chemotherapy. Moreover, the investigators aim to clarify the correlation of ADC value with histologic type and grade of lung cancer and survival of patients.

Conditions

  • Lung Neoplasms

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is a form of magnetic resonance imaging based upon measuring the random Brownian motion of water molecules within a voxel of tissue. The relationship between histology and diffusion is complex, however generally densely cellular tissues or those with cellular swelling exhibit lower diffusion coefficients, and thus diffusion is particularly useful in tumour characterisation
