Unraveling The Connection: Restricted Diffusion And Cancer
Restricted diffusion, detected using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), can indicate cancer due to increased cellular density, abnormal cell membrane permeability, nuclear atypia, and altered intracellular water content. Tumors exhibit restricted diffusion as increased cell density reduces intercellular space, abnormal cell membranes affect water molecule movement, and nuclear atypia disrupts cellular organization….
