Our purpose was to evaluate the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of various common pathologies of the uterine cavity, by comparing them with contrast-enhanced MRI findings. One hundred sixtyfour patients with lesions in endometrial cavity were included in the study. The patients were grouped in four (one malignant and three benign groups). We have observed that the differences of the apparent diffusion coefficient, b1000q, and Cq values between various common benign and malignant lesions were statistically significant (P.05). Alternatively, endometrial polyp group's signal intensity on DWI was different than the other groups. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
