  Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) probes tissue microstructure by capturing water motion and translating it into contrast that supports detection, characterisation and treatment assessment across brain and body. Diagnostic value depends on coherent protocol choices, control of artefacts and disciplined interpretation with the apparent diffusion...Read more

Accurate distinction between benign and malignant breast lesions is critical for guiding patient management and avoiding unnecessary interventions. Traditional imaging methods, while effective for initial detection, often lack sufficient specificity, resulting in reliance on biopsies. Recent advances in MRI techniques offer new opportunities to improve...Read more

  Accurately differentiating benign and malignant renal tumours is critical for optimising patient outcomes. While traditional diagnostic methods such as histopathological analysis remain the gold standard, they are not without limitations. Biopsies, for instance, can yield non-diagnostic results or misdiagnoses in up to 15% of cases. Moreover,...Read more
