Purpose: To investigate the effect of gadolinium (Gd)-DTPA on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of breast carcinoma and to analyze the relationship between pre/post-contrast ADC and the degree of contrast enhancement.Materials and Methods: Nineteen histopathologically confirmed breast carcinomas (mean size = 22 mm) were analyzcd. Their ADCs before and after contrast administration were measured. The con trast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) of the tumors were measured on fat-suppressed 3D T1-weighted images in precontrast, early, and late postcontrast phases. These results were correlated with the measured ADC values.Results: A significant decrease in the measured ADC was noted after contrast administration (-23%, P = 0.01). Lesions with relatively high ADC before contrast. (> 1.3 X 10(-3) mm(2)/sec; n = 12) demonstrated a larger degree of ADC reduction (mean 34%) than lesions with low ADC (
