Objectives: to evaluate the signal characteristics of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DWMRI) of maxillofacial intraosseous lesions and their corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and assess their ability to differentiate between malignant and non-malignant lesions.
Methods: This study included 17 patients (10 males and 7 females) selected from the outpatients’ clinic of Oral Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain-shams University. They were examined by MRI machine; Philips 1.5 Tesla Achieva, Netherlands using DWMRI, T1 and T2 sequences and ADC values were measured.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference between T1 signal distributions among patients with …
