Diffusion-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging after radiation therapy for bone metastases in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract The objectives of this study were to assess changes in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters after radiation therapy (RT) for bone metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to evaluate their prognostic v...
