The minimum ADC correlates with prognostic parameters of endometrial carcinoma more strongly than mean ADC. Lower minimum ADC is associated with higher histological tumor grade and higher degree of myometrial invasion.

ROI shape has no marked influence on ICC in endometrial carcinoma. Compared with minimum ADCs, mean ADCs are suggested to provide more stable results regardless of the ROI method.

We demonstrated 2 cases of uterine endometrial stromal sarcoma with emphasis on diffusion-weighted imaging. The tumors showed high signal intensity, and their tumor venous thrombi were clearly depicted on diffusion-weighted imaging. Diffusion-weighted imaging is a useful method not only for diagnosis of endometrial stromal sarcoma but also for preoperative planning.

In evaluation of the depth of myometrial invasion by endometrial carcinoma, 3.0T MR imaging has a high diagnostic accuracy that is equivalent to that of previously reported 1.5T MR imaging.
