The value of multiple diffusion metrics based on whole-lesion histogram analysis in evaluating the subtypes and proliferation status of non-small cell lung cancer
Provisionally accepted- Chongqing Three Gorges Central Hospital, Chongqing, China
The manuscript investigates the utility of whole-lesion histogram analysis using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in discerning subtypes and proliferation status of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aligns with the scope of Frontiers in Thoracic Oncology by advancing understanding in imaging techniques for characterizing NSCLC, which is crucial for precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and prognostication in thoracic oncology. By exploring novel quantitative metrics and their correlations with histological markers, the research contributes valuable insights into the non-invasive assessment of NSCLC, thereby enhancing the management strategies and outcomes in thoracic oncology.
