Progress of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging in liver diseases

Table 2 Summary of hepatic nodules intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging studies

Ref.	Subject number	Key findings
Luo et al[53]	27	ADCtotal, D, and D* values of HCC were lower than those of focal nodular hyperplasia
Luo et al[54]	75	ADCtotal, D, and f values of malignant lesions were lower than those of benign lesions
Klauss et al[55]	72	D and ADC values of HCC were lower than those of focal nodular hyperplasia
Yoon et al[56]	157	True diffusion and ADCtotal of malignancies were lower than those of benign malignant lesions
Watanabe et al[57]	120	D and ADC values were lower in the malignant group than in the benign group
Ichikawa et al[58]	84	D and D* values of malignant lesions were lower than those of benign lesions
Doblas et al[59]	86	The apparent and pure diffusion coefficients were lower in malignant than in benign tumors
Penner et al[60]	61	ROC analysis demonstrated the best discriminability between HCCs and focal nodular hyperplasia for ADCslow and f values
Zhu et al[61]	39	ADCtotal and D values of malignancies were lower than those of hemangioma

ADC: Apparent diffusion coefficient; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
