Diffusion‐weighted imaging of uterine adenomyosis: Correlation with clinical backgrounds and comparison with malignant uterine tumors

Aim To elucidate correlation between signal intensity on diffusion‐weighted images (SI‐DWI) and clinical backgrounds for uterine adenomyosis and to compare SI‐DWI of adenomyosis and malignant uterine tumors. Methods This study examined 46 adenomyosis patients diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging and 25 patients with surgically confirmed malignant uterine myometrial tumor. First, adenomyosis cases were classified visually into...
