Role of Diffusion Weighted MRI in Grading of Endometrial Carcinoma

Abstract

Although TVUS is the first imaging modality that can be used for detection of uterine mass lesion and the final diagnosis of the endometrial carcinoma is based on the histological examination; it is important to have preoperative road map to decide whether surgery is required, and which type of surgery is appropriate. Thus, MRI can help avoiding unnecessary surgery. It tells us the exact volume, shape, and direction of the primary lesion, local extent of the disease, and nodal status accurately, which helps the clinician in treatment planning.
