Abstract

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is a functional imaging technique to detect the random motion of water molecules in vivo tissues at present, and is thus able to noninvasively describe tissue microstructure. The value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging technique in diagnosis of cervical carcinoma is being concerned. In this article, we review this kind of techniques about its basic principle and clinical applications in detecting lesions, preoperative staging, presurgical detection of lymph nodes metastasis and evaluation response after radiotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with cervical carcinoma. Key words: magnetic resonance imaging(MRI); diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI); cervical cancer
