What Are the Advances in Restricted Diffusion Imaging?
Recent advances aim to enhance the utility of restricted diffusion in cancer diagnosis and treatment: - Advanced DWI Techniques: Techniques like diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) provide more detailed information about tissue architecture and perfusion. - Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers: Efforts are underway to standardize and validate ADC values as quantitative biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. - Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI algorithms are being developed to automate the analysis of DWI data, improving accuracy and reducing interpretation time.
