FIGURE 2 The receiver operating characteristics curve of ADC-min value for diagnosing malignancy for pulmonary nodules/masses showing the optimal cutoff value to be 1.1 × 10−3 mm2/s. Area under curve: (95% confidence interval: 0.846–0.968).

FIGURE 4 Correlation plots between ADC-min and SUV-CR. Open circle shows malignant and closed circle shows benign nodule/mass. Dotted lines show cutoff value for ADC-min and SUV-CR. The solid line shows the linear regression line and the broken lines show 95% confidence interval. ADC-min = minimum apparent diffusion coefficient; SUV-CR = contrast ratio of standard uptake value.
