Investigating the diagnostic value of quantitative parameters based on T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced MRI with psoas muscle and outer myometrium as internal references for differentiating uterine sarcomas from leiomyomas at 3T MRI

Investigating the diagnostic value of quantitative parameters based on T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced MRI with psoas muscle and outer myometrium as internal references for differentiating uterine sarcomas from leiomyomas at 3T MRI

Abstract Background Post-hysterectomy histopathological examination is currently the main diagnostic tool for differentiating uterine sarcomas from leiomyomas. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative quantitative metrics based on T2-weighted sequences and contrast-enh...
