From: Whole-lesion apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram as a quantitative biomarker to preoperatively differentiate stage IA endometrial carcinoma from benign endometrial lesions

Findings of three patients with histopathological-proven endometrial polyp (a–d), atypical endometrial hyperplasia (e–h), and stage IA EC (i–l). Sagittal T2WI (a, e, i), axial DWI (b = 800 s/mm2; b, f, j), axial ADC maps (c, g, k), and ADC histogram (d, h, l). All three lesions showed moderate hyperintensity on T2WI and hyperintensity on DWI. The BELs (endometrial polyp and hyperplasia) showed slight hyperintensity or isointensity, while stage IA EC showed hypointensity on the ADC maps. m The ADC histograms reflect the differences in the frequency of voxels distribution between benign and malignant endometrial tumors
