Abstract
Routine magnetic resonance imaging MRI is highly sensitive in detecting bone marrow alterations; however, it is of limited specificity in the evaluation of the causes of these alterations. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is an imaging technique which probes the structure of a biologic tissue. The contrast achieved with this technique together with measurement of the apparent diffusion coefficient ADC values are useful complementary MRI tools and can be used for non-invasive tissue characterization and therefore reaching a more specific diagnosis
