Abstract Purpose of this study is: Assessing the role of Diffusion weighted imaging with ADC mapping in the evaluation of uterine cervical cancer post therapy regarding tumor residual, recurrence or post treatment benign changes/ complications after tumor resection and/or chemotherapy/radiotherapy. Methods The study included 48 female underwent cervical cancer treatment, referred to Radio diagnosis Department of National Cancer Institute for post therapy assessment. Each patient included in the study was subjected to full history taking, reviewing medical sheet and MR examination including: Conventional MR examination and Diffusion Weighted imaging. Results The study showed that the use of quantitative DW imaging with ADC mapping provide added value in the detection of post-treatment malignant masses and differentiating it from post-treatment benign changes. Conclusion The current application of diffusion Weighted MRI as a routine with conventional MRI sequences increased the accuracy of detection of post therapy benign and malignant masses , Our results suggested also that the use of ADC can be helpful in differentiating post-treatment malignant masses from benign post-treatment changes.

Abstract Background Vertebral collapse is a common problem due to benign conditions (trauma, infection, osteoporosis) or malignant process. And although the spine is the most common site of bone metastases (39% of bony metastases in patients with primary neoplasms) benign vertebral fractures due to osteopenia occur in one third of cancer patients, making it essential to determine whether the cause of vertebral collapse is benign or malignant. Aim of the Work To establish the role of DWI in differentiating benign from pathologic vertebral fractures using ADC values in comparison with histopathology report /laboratory evaluation and clinical follow-up. Patients and Methods A cross sectional study is approved by the ethics review board of Ain Shams University Hospital (Al Demerdash). All patients provided informed consent for the MR imaging examinations and for inclusion of their data in this analysis. From April 2020 to october 2020, 25 cases with previous imaging with vertebral compression underwent conventional MRI study on the affected region. Diffusion weighted imaging and ADC was added. Results We performed DWI using maximum b-values 600, and quantitative analysis, named apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). We correlated the ADC number to histopathology, laboratory finding and clinical follow up. In our study there was significant difference (p < 0.04) between DWI of the benign and malignant groups. Also the ADC value showed significant difference <0.001. The mean ADCs of benign VCFs were higher significantly than those of pathological fractures. Conclusion DWI with ADC value was helpful when added to conventional MRI to differentiate benign from pathological (malignant) vertebral compression. It should be a routine sequence in patients with vertebral compression fractures for accurate diagnosis and successful management also can decrease no of biopsies.
