Amide proton transfer weighted imaging combined with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in predicting lymphovascular space invasion and deep stromal invasion of IB1-IIA1 cervical cancer

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging combined with dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in predicting intermediate-risk factors of deep stromal invasion (DSI) and lymphovascular vascular space invasion (LVSI) in cervical cancer.

Methods

Seventy patients with cervical cancer who underwent MRI before operation from July 2019 to February 2022 were retrospectively included in this study. Clinical information including age, histologic subtype etc. were recorded for patients. ATPw imaging parameter APTmean and DCE-MRI parameters Ktrans, Kep and Ve were measured and analyzed. The independent-sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or Chi-square test was used to compare the differences of parameters between DSI
