Abstract

To determine the feasibility of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (DWI) of uterine cervical cancer and to investigate whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of cervical cancer differ from those of normal cervix and whether they could indicate the histologic type and the pathologic grade of tumor. Forty-two female patients with histopathologically proven uterine cervical cancer and 15 female patients with uterine leiomyomas underwent preoperative MR examinations using a 1.5-T clinical scanner (GE 1.5T Twin-Speed Infinity with Excite II scanner; GE Healthcare, Waukesha, Wis). Scanning sequences included T2-weighted fast spin-echo imaging, T2-weighted fast spin-echo with fat suppression imaging, T1-weighted spin-echo imaging, and DWI with diffusion factors of 0 and 1000 s/mm2. Parameters evaluated consisted of ADC values of uterine cervical cancer and normal cervix. Histologic specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The cellular densities of 32 uterine cervical cancers were calculated, which were regarded as the ratio of the total area of tumor cell nuclei divided by the area of sample image. Apparent diffusion coefficient value was statistically different (P = 0.000) between normal and...Continue Reading
