| Core Tip |
Diffusion-weighted imaging and perfusion imaging could add functional information to the morphological evaluation of hepatic and pancreatic tumors. Diffusion-weighted imaging findings seem to be correlated with pathological features and could predict the clinical outcome of hepatocellular carcinomas and pancreatic tumors, especially neuroendocrine neoplasms. Apparent diffusion coefficient quantification and perfusion techniques can be of value for the evaluation of response to ablative treatments, loco-regional therapies and anti-angiogenic therapies, even at an early stage. |
