Accurate differential diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma (EC) and endometrial polyp (EP) determines the choice of surgical methods. Recent studies have separately applied Amide proton transfer (APT) and Intra-voxel-incoherent-motion (IVIM) imaging in diagnosing female pelvic system diseases including cervical carcinoma (CC) and EC. In this study, we investigated the combination of APTw and IVIM for differential diagnosis of EC and EP. The Results suggested that the combination of APTw and IVIM effectively aids in differentiating EC from EP.
