Variability of tumor volumetry and ADC in ovarian cancer
metastases was assessed in order to establish their
value as response biomarkers. Three tumor burden
assessment methods were employed (semi-automated region
growing and manual segmentation of DW-MRI data and
RECIST measurements on CT) and tumor volume and median
ADC determined in 16 patients with primary ovarian
cancer by a single radiologist. A second radiologist
assessed the tumor burden using an identical
semi-automated region growing method. Intra- and
inter-observer variabilities were evaluated by
calculating the Coefficient of Variation (CV). Volume
variability was: intra-observer CV 12.3%, inter-observer
CV 17.4%, median ADC variability was lower:
intra-observer CV 4.3%, inter-observer CV 4.2%.
