Microperfusion‐induced elevation of ADC is suppressed after contrast in breast carcinoma

To investigate the effect of gadolinium (Gd)‐DTPA on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of breast carcinoma and to analyze the relationship between pre/postcontrast ADC and the degree of contrast enhancement.
