Nonetheless, the evidence for current practice is weak. Washout is highly specific for HCC detection [9 – 11], but the decision of whether a certain nodule exhibits washout or not is based solely on the subjective impres- sion of the radiologist. Only Liu et al. [12] quantitatively assessed w[r]

Soft-tissue metastasis (STM) is a relatively rare, but not exceptional, manifestation of lung cancer.

There are some weaknesses of our study which include its retrospective design. This contributes to differences in the timing and method of assessment of clinical re- sponse as well as the different b-values used for the DWI studies.
