[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the value of DWI sequence in the differential diagnosis of uterine empyema and uterine cavity fluid.Materials and Methods: Forty-four cases of DWI signal of uterine empyema and uterine cavity fluid were retrospectively analyzed, these cases were confirmed by pathology or clinic. Afterwards the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was measured and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the ADC value was drawn.Results: In DWI, 20 cases of uterine empyema, 18 cases showed high signal, 1 case showed inhomogeneous high signal, 1 case showed low signal, mean ADC value was (0.78±0.21)×10-3 mm2/s. In DWI, 24 cases of uterine cavity fluid, 22 cases showed low signal, 2 cases showed high signal, mean ADC value was (1.81±0.38)×10-3 mm2/s. There was significant difference in ADC value between the two groups (P <0.001), the optimum cutoff point for ADC values was 1.20×10-3 mm2/s, the sensitivity was 91.7% and the specificity was 95.0%.Conclusions: The ADC value can be used to identify the uterine empyema and uterine cavity fluid, and the cutoff value was 1.20×10-3 mm2/s.
