Diffusion-weighted Imaging in Cervical Cancer with an Endovaginal Technique: Potential Value for Improving Tumor Detection in Stage Ia and Ib1 Disease

Abstract

ADCs from invasive cervical carcinoma are significantly lower than those from nontumor epithelium; good interobserver agreement by using T2-weighted and DW MR imaging makes this technique potentially useful to help detect early-stage disease.
