Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and pathological grading and staging of cervical carcinoma.Methods Among 311 patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma,87 patients were met the criteria for inclusion.All the patients were performed routine MR and diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) with b=1 000 s/mm2 before treatments,and recorded the pathological grading and staging.The ADC values of the lesions were measured on GE AW4.5 workstation,and were compared among the groups with different pathological grading and staging by using LSD and paired t-test.Results The mean ADC value was (0.77±0.079)×10-3 mm2/s in the poorly-differentiated group,(0.88±0.10)×10-3 mm2/s in the moderately-differentiated group,and (1.05±0.084)×10-3 mm2/s in the well-differentiated group.There were significant differences among the different groups (P<0.05).The mean ADC value was (0.84±0.12)×10-3 mm2/s in the stage Ⅰb group, and (0.78±0.12)×10-3 mm2/s in the stage Ⅱa group.The difference was not statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusion The increasing of the ADC values is correlated with the high levels of tumor cell differentiation, and not correlated with the pathological stages in cervical carcinoma.
