Diffusion weighted imaging in gynecological malignancies - present and future

Figure 4 Serosal deposits in carcinoma ovary. Axial contrast enhanced computed tomography image (A) of a patient with known ovarian cancer shows enhancing soft tissues (arrows) over the surface of small bowel suggestive of serosal deposits. On diffusion weighted imaging, b 0 (B), b 400 (C), b 800 (D) and ADC (E) images show significant diffusion restriction in the serosal deposits. These lesions were proven to be malignant deposits on fine needle aspiration cytology. ADC: Apparent diffusion coefficient.
