Differences of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of pleural lesions. Mean ADCs were 1.22 ± 0.25 × 10−3 mm2/s in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM), 1.31 ± 0.49 × 10−3 mm2/s in pleural dissemination, 2.01 ± 0.45 ×10−3 mm2/s in empyema, and 3.76 ± 0.62 × 10−3 mm2/s on pleural effusion. The ADC of the MPM was significantly lower than that of empyema (P = 0.0007) or pleural effusion (P < 0.0001). The ADC of pleural dissemination was significantly lower than that of empyema (P = 0.0086) or pleural effusion (P < 0.0001).
