In order to evaluate the reproducibility of Diffusional
Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) in uterine cervix in vivo, 20
healthy volunteers underwent duplicate MRI and DKI scans
with an interval of 24 hours to 14 days. Metric K and D
were obtained and measured. ICCs, CVs of both intra- and
inter- observer showed the perfect stability of D and K
in two scans. Therefore, DKI appears reproducible in
providing useful information of non-Gaussian diffusion
behavior in uterine cervix. And it is stable in the
application in clinical researches.
