Multicystic mucinous adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix compared with benign multicystic lesions: Multiparametric MR features

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MRI-HSG with semiquantitative dynamic contrast‐enhanced perfusion, against the virtual multi slice computed tomography hysterosalpingogram (VHSG) as a reference standard. Methods and Materials: In this prospective study, 26 women (age >18 years) searching for infertility causes and with VHSG physician request. Thereafter, the assessment performance of both techniques was determined by two reader analyses. k statistics were used for the assessment of tubal patency. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to compare the capability for tubal patency assessment between both exams on a per-patient and per-tube basis. The McNemar test was used to compare the diagnostic accuracy measures. Results: Tubal patency, uterine morphological, ovarian, and extra uterine abnormalities were evaluated through both exams in all 26 women. There was no significant difference between diagnostic performance measurements between the methods. The ROC curve of VHSG was 0.852 for both per-patient and per-tube analyses, and one and 0.938 for MRI-HSG. Sensitivity and specificity for per-patient and per-tube for VHSG were 95.2 and 97.7, 80 and 87.5%, and for MRI-HSG 100% for both analyses and 100 and 87.5%, respectively. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the feasibility of diagnosing tubal patency through MRI, using a semiquantitative dynamic contrast‐enhanced perfusion sequence, and the satisfactory diagnosing of the uterine morphology, ovarian abnormalities, and ovarian and deep endometriosis. Advances in knowledge: Multiparametric MRI with a perfusion real-time sequence as a hysterosalpingography method can be used in the evaluation not only for uterine and ovarian abnormilities but also tubal patency
