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.
