This study is designed to assess the impact of
gadolinium contrast administration on magnetic resonance
(MR) in pre-operative diagnosis of uterine
leiomyosarcoma (LMS). The central non-enhancing area (CNE)
was identified as a MR characteristic for LMS, with an
area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)
curve (AUC) of 0.98, which was significantly greater
than that of T1WI (AUC = 0.67, p < 0.01), T2WI (AUC =
0.65, p < 0.001) or DWI (AUC = 0.69, p < 0.001). CNE is
an MR characteristic for LMS thus intravenous contrast
medium administration is important for preoperative
diagnosis of LMS.
