Synopsis

Keywords: Pelvis, Cancer, DWIDifferentiation of patients with IB-IIA from those with IIB-IIC assist track treatment selection for cervical cancer. A diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence based on field-of-view optimized and constrained undistorted single shot (FOCUS) combined with multiplexed sensitivity-encoding (MUSE) technique (named FOCUS-MUSE DWI) was used in our study to explore the differentiation performance on stages of cervical cancer. We found the reliability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for FOCUS MUSE-DWI is the highest among single-shot DWI (ss-DWI), FOCUS-DWI and MUSE-DWI, and better image quality, SNR, and CNR than the former two. There was no significant difference of ADC values for four DWI sequence between IB-IIA group and IIB-IIIC, but ADC values were consistent with previous studies.
