Core Tip Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) measures differences in tissue microstructure based on the random displacement of water molecules. The differences in water mobility are quantified using the apparent diffusion coefficient which has an inverse relationship with tissue cellularity. As such, the technique is able to differentiate between tumoral tissue and normal or necrotic tissue. In this paper, we present an inguinal lymph node metastasis of malignant melanoma after surgery, with DW-MRI findings.
