The mean ADC value (mean±SD) of all malignant tumors (including cartilaginous neoplasms) was [0.92 ± 0.40] × 10-3 mm2/s. This significantly differed from those of both primary benign tumors [1.14 ± 0.24] × 10-3 mm2/s, (p = 0.011), and all non-malignant lesions collectively [1.29 ± 0.44] × 10-3 mm2/s, (p < 0.001). Using mADC value of ≤ 1.1 × 10-3 mm2/s resulted in 86.1% sensitivity and 62.5% specificity for characterizing a lesion as a malignant. The inter-rater reliability was almost perfect (95% CI = 0.954-0.985).Citation
