The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on 3-T MRI differentiates myometrial invasion depth and histological grade in patients with endometrial cancer

Background Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement provides additional information about tumor microstructure with potential relevance for staging and predicting aggressive disease in patients with endometrial cancer (EC).

Description
Summary:Background Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement provides additional information about tumor microstructure with potential relevance for staging and predicting aggressive disease in patients with endometrial cancer (EC). Purpose To determine whether ADC values in EC diverge according to the tumor’s histologic grade and myometrial invasion depth. Material and Methods A sample of 48 pathologically confirmed cases of EC were reviewed retrospectively. The sample was distributed as follows: G1 (n = 9); G2 (n = 18); G3 (n = 21); with myometrial invasion
