Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in epithelial ovarian tumor categorization: comparison with apparent diffusion coefficient histogram analysis and the tumor cell proliferation marker

ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare the capability of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis in epithelial ovarian tumor categorization. Methods: We retrospectively recruited 52 patients with pathologically proven ovarian serous epithelial cancer from our institution. ADC histogram analysis was performed using FeAture Explorer software after outlining the whole lesion area on the ADC map. The ADC histogram parameter difference between subgroups was compared; the correlation between the quantitative parameters on MRI and Ki-67 expression was calculated for both groups. Results: The repeatability of ADC measurements across the two methods was good; the area method (ADCarea) had better performance in repeatability than th
