Using amide proton transfer-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in peritumor tissue to predict parametrial infiltration of cervical cancer: a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parametrial infiltration (PMI) is an important indicator for staging and treatment of cervical cancer (CC). The potential of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) parameters of peritumor tissue in predicting PMI is still uncertain. This study aims to explore whether the APTw parameters of peritumor tissue can improve diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods

Eighty-one patients with pathologic analysis-confirmed CC were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients underwent APTw MRI and DWI. The APTw values of tumor (APTw-t), APTw values in peritumor tissues (APTw-p) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were independently reviewed by two radiologists to map the regions of interest and measure
