Figures

  • Figure 1
    Figure 1

    Graphics showing the A) mass diameter of the groups (there is no statistically significant difference between groups) and the B) mass apparent diffusion coefficient values. *difference according to poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma (p<0.05), and C) ratio index of the groups. ADC - apparent diffusion coefficient

  • Figure 2
    Figure 2

    Two poorly-differentiated metastatic masses in right hepatic lobe of posterior segment 6 and moderately-differentiated metastatic mass in segment 7 of right posterior lobe, indicated by arrows (diffusion weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient mapping).

  • Figure 3
    Figure 3

    Moderately-differentiated metastatic mass in segment 7 and well-differentiated metastatic mass in segment 5 (diffusion weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient mapping).

  • Figure 4
    Figure 4

    Receiver operating characteristics curves showing the A) mass diameter and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of masses for poorly and well-differentiated groups and B) poorly and moderately-differentiated groups with regard to diameter and ADC values of masses.
