Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the value of the multiple model parameters of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in identification of stage endometrial carcinoma (EC) and endometrial polyp (EP). Methods: The clinical and imaging data of 31 patients with stage EC (group EC) and 14 patients with EP (group EP), confirmed by postoperative pathological examination, were retrospectively analyzed, all patients were performed on 1.5T MR (including IVIM sequence, b=0, 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 400, 800, 1 200, 2 000, 3 000 s/mm2) before operation. The IVIM multi-model parameter values of the lesions were measured and compared between the two groups, including the standard apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC-stand), slow-apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC-slow), fast-apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC-fast), perfusion fraction (f), distributed diffusion coefficient (DDC) and water molecular diffusion heterogeneity index (α). The ROC curve was used to evaluate the differential diagnostic efficacy of IVIM parameters for stage EC and EP. Results: The ADC-stand value, ADC-slow value, f-value, DDC value and α value of the EC group were all less than the EP group, and the ADC-fast value was greater than the EP group (all P=0.001). ROC curve results showed the standard ADC value, ADC-slow value, ADC-fast value, f value, DDC value and α value had differential diagnostic value for stage EC and EP, the AUC was 0.885, 0.877, 0.919, 0.926, 0.906 and 0.902, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The multi-model parameters of IVIM sequence can effectively identify stage EC and EP.
