Objective. To analyze and compare the measured values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in tumors of the spinal canal with cell density and Ki-67 index of proliferative activity. Material and Methods. The study included diffusion-weighted MR images of 36 patients with different types of tumors of the spinal canal. In the morphological study of tumors, the degree of malignancy according to the WHO classification, the value of the Ki-67 index, and cell density were assessed. Results. The average
