The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the quantitative pharmacokinetic parameters of DCE-MRI and 3 fibroid types based on T2WIs. 23 fibroids (11 cases of type 1, 7 cases of type 2, 5 cases of type 3) in 23 females underwent T1WIs, T2WIs and DCE-MRI. It demonstrated that the Ktrans were no significant difference among the 3 types, suggesting the similar capillary permeability among them. Kep of type 3 was higher than type 1 and 2,which indicated that the wash-out of type 3 is faster and more heat energy may be taken away during ablation. Therefore, the quantitative pharmacokinetic parameters of DCE-MRI provide sensitive method in the patients selection for MRg HIFU.
