Abstract
The aim of the study. Investigation of the potential of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) evaluation for differential diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy in lymphoma and sarcoidosis.
Materials and methods. The study included 15 patients with sarcoidosis and 7 patients with lymphoma. In each patient ADC values of 3 largest lymph nodes were measured.
Results. Differences of mean ADC values in lymphoma (1,01±0,3×10-3mm2/s) and sarcoidosis (1,51±0,25×10-3mm2/s) were significant, p<0,0001. Optimal cut-point value for ADC of ≤1,1×10-3mm2/s differentiated lymphoma from sarcoidosis with sensitivity of 76,2%, specificity of 97,8% and accuracy of 90,9%, the area under the ROC-curve was 0,89.
Conclusion. Preliminary results of the study have demonstrated the potential of DW-MRI in differential diagnosis of lymphoma and sarcoidosis and expediency of the further study.
