[Abstract] Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), the normal functional imaging techniques, are used in reflecting biological characteristics and clinical course in primary endometrial carcinoma, by analyzing the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and quantitative or semi-quantitative perfusion parameters of DCE-MRI, which are crucial to preoperative assessment, the potential consequences of therapy and the outcome of endometrial carcinoma patients. The aim of this study was to review the application and development of DWI and DCE-MRI in endometrial carcinoma.
