High-resolution Diffusion-weighted Imaging for the Diagnosis of Endometrial and Cervical Cancer

Abstract

New techniques for high-resolution diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) have emerged, including reduced field-of-view DWI (rFOV-DWI) and multiplexed sensitivity encoding DWI (MUSE-DWI). These advanced technologies address the limitations of conventional DWI by reducing distortion and providing higher spatial resolution. Particularly, DWI is now a crucial imaging tool in gynecology for diagnosing endometrial and cervical cancer. This article offers an overview of the principles and clinical applications of rFOV-DWI and MUSE-DWI for endometrial and cervical cancer in gynecology.
