Ref. | Country | Subject number | Key findings |
Joo et al[55], 2014 | Korea | 21 | The D* and f values of the treatment group were significantly decreased at four hours. The sizes of the decreases in f and fD* at four hours were negatively correlated with the tumor size at 7 d of follow-up |
Wagner et al[56], 2012 | France | 48 | The D values of viable tumor regions in malignant liver tumors were significantly lower than those of necrotic tumor tissue but higher than those of fibrotic tumor regions |
Yang et al[57], 2017 | China | 35 | Compared with the values at baseline and those recorded in the control group, the ADC and D values in the treatment group were significantly higher at each time point, whereas the f values decreased significantly at 7 d and increased at 21 d |
Lewin et al[58], 2011 | France | 12 | The f values increased significantly in responder patients at two weeks and two months after treatment but decreased in nonresponder patients. The f value was useful as a reliable marker to evaluate sorafenib treatment efficacy in patients with advanced HCC |
Shirota et al[59], 2016 | Japan | 9 | The D values at baseline were significantly higher in the responder group than in the nonresponder group. The sensitivity and specificity of the D values for evaluating treatment response were 100% and 67%, respectively |
