Abstract：Objective To study the clinical application of magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value in the differential diagnosis between brain abscess (BA) in capsule-period and brain glioma.Methods By reviewing cases,DWI signal performance and the differences of ADC value of BA and brain glioma were found,and the average ADC values in brain abscesses cavity and glioma were measured,compared and statistically analyzed.Results (1) In BA cavity,DWI was characterized by high signal and the ADC showed low signal,while in glioma area,DWI was characterized by low signal and the ADC showed high signal.(2)As for the ADC value,there was significant difference in paired-sample tests between BA group and control group (P<0.01),and significant difference occurred between glioma group and control group (P<0.01),as well as in independent sample test of both BA group and glioma group (P<0.01).Conclusion DWI and ADC values can improve differential diagnosis between BA and brain glioma.
