Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique showing molecular diffusion. Cell size, density and integrity influence the signal intensity seen on diffusion-weighted images. This technique is a helpful complementary tool to distinguish tumoral from non-tumoral tissue, and has several interesting applications in the evaluation of head and neck cancer.
扩散加权磁共振成像(MRI)是一种显示分子扩散的成像技术。细胞大小、密度和完整性会影响在扩散加权图像上看到的信号强度。该技术是区分肿瘤组织与非肿瘤组织的有用辅助工具,在头颈癌评估中有若干有趣的应用。
