Popis: INTRODUCTION: To assess lung lesions with quantitative diffusion MR imaging. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 120 patients with pulmonary lesions undergoing diffusion-weighted MR imaging. The ADC values of lung lesions were calculated and correlated with biopsy results. RESULTS: The ADC of benign lung lesions (2.03+-0.09x10-3mm2/s) was significantly higher (P
