Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value measurement of nodes in diffusion-weighted images (DWI) has been widely used for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of human tumors. We evaluated whether the ADC provided by DWI varies according to the state of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in breast cancer (BC).
