Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of ADC histogram parameters measured by 2D and 3D ROI in distinguishing benign and malignant solitary solid pulmonary lesions (SPL). Methods A total of 69 patients with SPL were included in this retrospective study, including 56 patients with malignant disease and 13 patients with benign disease. All patients underwent preoperative MRI and DWI (b=600 mm/s²) examinations. The ADC histogram parameters of the lesion from 2D and 3D ROI were obtained by OK software. ROC curve was used to compare the discriminative efficacy of these two methods. Results Most parameters of 2D and 3D histogram showed a statistically significant difference between benign and malignant pulmonary lesions (P<0.05), especially ADC 50 quantiles (50^th), 75 quantiles (75^th) and 90 quantiles (90^th) (P<0.001). The ADC 75^th in 2D histogram and ADC 50^th in 3D histogram had better diagnostic efficiency (AUC were 0.891 and 0.894, respectively). When the ADC 50^th of 3D histogram was 1.41×10^-3 mm²/s, the accuracy of diagnosis was the highest, with a sensitivity of 80.00% and a specificity of 92.86%. There were no significant differences in ADC maximum, 25^th and kurtosis among groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both 2D and 3D ADC histograms had a certain value in the diagnosis of SPL, and ADC 50^th of 3D histogram showed the best efficacy.
