eighted imaging (DWI) with different parameters in preoperative evaluation of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) of endometrial carcinoma (EC).
Methods:
The clinical and pathological data of 146 cases of EC were retrospectively analyzed
including 109 cases of LVSI (-) and 37 cases of LVSI (+). Maximum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC max )
ADC
min
and ADC
mean
of the two groups of patients were measured
and the differences of each parameter between the two groups were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was carried out to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ADC
min
and ADC
mean
in evaluating LVSI status in EC.
Results:
No statistically significant difference was found in ADC
max
between the two groups (
P
>0.05).There was significant difference in ADC
mean
(
F
=13.832
P
<0.001) and ADC
min
(
F
=19.927
P
<0.001) between the two groups. The area under curve (AUC) of ADC
min
ADC
mean
for evaluating LVSI status in EC were 0.853 and 0.772 respectively. According to the optimal cut point
the sensitivity and specificity value of ADC
min
and ADC
mean
were 86.5% and 62.2%
71.6% and 82.6%. The diagnostic performance of LVSI evaluated by ADC min was significantly higher than ADC
mean
(
Z
=2.221
P
=0.026).
Conclusion:
Both ADC
min
and ADC
mean
are helpful for preoperative evaluation of LVSI status in EC
