Abstract:Background
T1 mapping can potentially quantitatively assess the intrinsic properties of tumors. This study was conducted to explore the ability of T1 mapping in distinguishing cervical cancer type, grade, and stage and compare the diagnostic performance of T1 mapping with diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI).
Methods
One hundred fifty-seven patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer were enrolled in this prospectively study. T1 mapping and … Show more
