Role of New Functional MRI Techniques in the Diagnosis, Staging, and Followup of Gynecological Cancer: Comparison with PET-CT
Figure 5
Central recurrence after radical surgery for cervical cancer in a 65-year-old woman. First row (a1) and (b1) axial and sagittal T2-WI of the uterus show a soft-tissue mass of high signal intensity in the vaginal vault. (c1) DWI shows a well-defined hyperintense area corresponding to the mass. (d1) on ADC map the tumor is hypointense (arrow). The ADC value within the mass is 0.87 × 10−3 mm2/s. Second row six months after radiation treatment, sagittal and axial T2-WI (a2) and (b2) show resolution of the mass. (c2) and (d2) DWI and ADC map showed no signal intensity alteration, with an ADC value of 1.4 × 10−3 mm2/s.
