Popis: Objective: to determine whether the measurable diffusion coefficient (MIC) may be used to differentiate normal and lymphomatosisaltered lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).Material and methods. Whole-body magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was used to compare the MICs of LNs in 27 apparently healthy individuals and 41 patients with a verified diagnosis of HL.Results. Construction of 95% confidence intervals showed that the MICs of normal LNs were in the range of 1.00 to 1.73× ×10-3 mm2/sec and significantly higher (p
