A comparison of diffusion techniques and metrics from scanning a 57-year-old woman with left breast invasive ductal carcinoma (tumor indicated by the arrow) at 3T. (A) The baseline b = 0 image acquired without diffusion gradients; (B) conventional DWI: apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map (scale bar 0-2.35 mm²/s), arrow indicating tumor ADC value of 1.090 mm²/s; (C) diffusion kurtosis imaging: mean kurtosis map (scale bar 0-3 mm²/s), arrow indicating tumor mean kurtosis value of 1.154 mm²/s; (D) DTI: mean diffusivity map (scale bar 0-2.8 mm²/s), arrow indicating tumor mean diffusivity value of 0.808 mm²/s.
