Field-of-View Optimized and Constrained Undistorted Single-Shot Study of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and Intravoxel Incoherent Motion for the Uterus and Cervix in Females of Childbearing Age and Postmenopause: A Prospective Study
DWI-IVIM parameters can detect physiological differences in the uterus and cervix between menstrual phases and postmenopause. These findings underscore the importance of considering hormonal and physiological variability when interpreting imaging studies of the female reproductive system. Further research is warranted to explore the diagnostic implications of these parameters.
