PDFAbstract
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of various MRI methods in evaluating deep myometrial invasion in patients with endometrial carcinoma. Methods Sixty-five patients with endometrial carcinoma were recruited for this study. All patients received MRI scan. The T2WI, CE T1WI and DWI images of deep myometrial invasion were compared with histological examination results. Results Among 65 patients with endometrial carcinoma, 43 were confirmed with deep myometrial invasion by histological analysis, and 22 were without deep myometrial invasion. T2WI-DWI fused images showed best diagnostic value with an accuracy of 93.85%,sensitivity and specificity of 95.35% and 90.91%, and positive and negative predictive value of 95.35% and 90.91%. Conclusion The fused images of T2WI and DWI can better generate useful imaging information of deep myometrial invasion in patients with endometrial carcinoma.
