Differential Diagnosis of Borderline and Malignant Epithelial Ovarian Tumors: Insights from 3D APTWI to DKI

Motivation: Accurate diagnosis of BEOT and MEOT is crucial but remains challenging. Goal(s): To investigate the diagnostic ability of APTWI and DKI in differentiating BEOT from MEOT and their correlation with the Ki-67 LI. Approach: Those who had solid or solid-cystic lesions on one or both sides of the adnexal area on US and/or CT with a suspicion of malignancy were selected and underwent an MRI scan.and The parameters originate from them are analyzedResults: The sMTRasymmax, cMTRasymmean , MDmean , and age displayed excellent diagnostic ability for BEOT and MEOT. Significant and positive correlations exist between sMTRasymmax and MKmean variables with Ki-67 LI. Impact: This research is innovative and will promote the application of APT imaging technology in other soft tissue tumors. Researchs can be conducted in various aspects such as differential diagnosis and treatment responsiveness.
