[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the differential diagnostic value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in diffuse weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of minimally invasive thyroid nodules and to improve the homogeneous thyroid nodules of the differential diagnosis of imaging.Materials and Methods: Select 162 cases confirmed by surgery pathology in the second hospital of Hebei medical university homogeneous patients with thyroid nodules, a total of 226 lesions on magnetic resonance scan and conventional DWI examination used the proceeds of all lesions imaging data for statistical analysis.Results: Homogeneous thyroid nodule in DWI examination, setting different b factors of ADC values obtained ADC values were different. Take b factor of 300, 500 and 800 s/mm2, the difference of ADC values obtained from DWI scan between benign and malignant nodules was statistically significant (P<0.05). Take b factor of 0 and 1000 s/mm2, the difference of ADC values obtained from DWI scan between benign and malignant nodules was not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusions: ADC value is of significance to the differential diagnosis of homogeneous thyroid nodules.
