Background:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is more common in persons with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has the ability to detect tumour response to treatment weeks before morphological alterations are evident. Aim:To compare the response to therapy of HCC cases after trans-arterial chemoembolization using the ADC mapping MRI approach to the dynamic contrast study (DCE MRI). Patients and Methods: The current study involved 30 patients who underwent dynamic MRI with ADC mapping technique before and after TACE. All patients had been subjected to clinical assessment, laboratory investigations (AFP, liver functions, serum albumin bilirubin, coagulation profile, CBC) and …
