Synopsis

Keywords: Uterus, CancerIncoherent motion in voxel (IVIM) imaging is widely utilized in grading tumor, cancer, treatment efficacy and prognosis. It is believed utility of at least 8 b-values image sets brings a more stable and accurate results. However, long acquisition time hamper clinical applications. High consistent diagnostic performance of manual ROI-based IVIM-derived measurements including ADC, D, D* and f on distinguishing patients with cervical cancer from healthy controls was found between 5b-value and 13b-value IVIM imaging protocol and no significant difference of all four values was found. We proposed a IVIM diffusion weighted imaging with a 5b-value protocol in cervical cancer.
