Diffusion weighted imaging in gynecological malignancies - present and future

Figure 1 Carcinoma cervix. Axial diffusion weighted imagings of a biopsy proven case of carcinoma cervix show a mass (arrow) involving the cervix having hyper intense signal on b 0 (A), b 400 (B) and b 800 (C) images; Note the progressive loss of signal of the urinary bladder (marked as asterisk) as the B value increases; the mass is also hypointense on corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient image (D) confirming true diffusion restriction.
