Abstract: Objective To analyze the MRI features of senile endometrial polyp and compared MRI features with pathological find-ings,to improve the ability for the diagnosis.Methods The study included 58 cases with senile endometrial polyp proved by diag-nostic curettage or hysterectomy.MRI and pathological findings were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among 58 cases,there were 46 cases with and 12 cases without uterine cavity enlargement.Lesion combined solid portions with cryptomere cystics areas filled in uterine cavity in 35 cases,and MRI showed hypointensity on T1 WI,mixed intensity with hypointensity separation lines on T2 WI, and marked heterogeneous enhancement.The signal of uterine cavity was heterogeneous in 23 cases with hypointensity or isointensi-ty on T1 WI,hyperintensity or isointensity on T2 WI,and no obviously enhancement.Conclusion MRI combined with clinical fea-tures can improve the diagnostic accuracy of senile endometrial polyp.
