The aim of the study is to investigate the variation
among the different T2WI types uterine fibroids by
analysis of ADC histogram. Eighty patients divided in
type1 of 34 patients, type2 of 36 patients, type3 of 10
patients, respectively. Conventional MRI and DWI were
performed. Then, ADCq, kurtosis and skewness were
derived from ADC histogram. The results showed that
values of ADCq and kurtosis were significant difference
between type 1 and type2type1 and type3. The kurtosis
among three type are contrary to ADCq, which of type1 is
lowest than others. However, there is no significant
difference between type2 and type3 in ADCq, kurtosis and
skewness. Therefore, ADCq and kurtosis can provide
quantitative information to identify different fibroid
types, which could be used as useful screening tools to
guide the patients selection for MRgHIFU ablation.
