[Abstract] Objective: To compare apparent diffusion coefficient measurement of benign axillary lymph node and malignant axillary lymph node identification value and optimizing b value.Materials and Methods: By collecting in the hospital for breast dynamic contrast-enhanced scans and diffusion-weighted imaging,using three b values (400, 800, 1000 s/mm2). 59 patients (96 lymph nodes) with a clear outcome of the surgery and pathology and/or needle biopsy results were retrospectively analyzed.Results: The ADC values of malignant lesions were signifi cantly lower than those of benign lesions(P=0.00).The sensitivity and specificity were 88.53% and 62.85%, 77.14% and 78.69%, 77.14% and 81.97% respectively when b=400, 800 and 1000 by using a threshold ADC of less than 1.240, 0.955, 0.890×10-3mm2/s respectively. Areas under the curve are 0.828, 0.849, 0.873 as b=400 s/mm2, 800 s/mm2, 1000 s/mm2, respectively.Conclusions: The ADC value has moderate diagnosis potency in differentiating benign and malignant lymph node. The optimal b value is 1000 s/mm2.
