Apparent diffusion coefficient is a good marker in predicting the prognosis in colorectal cancer liver metastases: a diagnostic study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Up to 10% CRC patients can have liver metastases at the first diagnosis. At present, clinical diagnosis of CRC liver metastasis (CRCLM) is mostly based on imaging, and there is a certain false-positive rate and false-negative rate. Improving the diagnostic accuracy of imaging for CRCLM is highly significant. Apparent diffusion coefficients showed high predicting value in other cancers. The aim of the present study was to explore the diagnostic value of apparent diffusion coefficients based on magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging for CRCLM.

Methods

Fifty patients with CRCLM admitted to Hebei Yanda Hospital from January 2018 to December 2018 were retrospectively collected, and the data of 5
