Description

Purpose: Determine the clinical potential of diffusion MRI with mapping of apparent diffusion coefficient for evaluating the therapeutic response of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (G.I.S.T.) in comparison to PET-CT with 18F-F.D.G.. Conclusions: The variations of apparent diffusion coefficient seems to reflect the therapeutic response of G.I.S.T. lesions avid for 18F-F.D.G.. Nevertheless, its interest seems limited in the case of small lesions and remains to be determined for the assessment of G.I.S.T. lesions that do not hold 18F- F.D.G.. (N.C.)
