Abstract

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can depict random motions of water molecules in biological tissues during magnetic resonance (MR) examinations. Few papers have tested its application to pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNENs). The aim of this paper is to assess the clinical value of DWI regarding identification and characterization of PanNENs and diagnosis of liver metastases.
