Abbreviations: DW = diffusion-weighted; FDG-PET/CT = fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; T2W = T2-weighted.

Slice thickness on PET/CT = 3 mm; slice thickness on T2W-MRI and T2W + DW-MRI = 6.5 mm.

P < .05 considered statistically significant; 2-sided F-test, calculated between T2W- and T2W + DW-MRI.
