[Abstract] Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can reflect microstructure of tissues by quantifying the velocity and direction of water molecules, thus to quantitatively analyze pathological changes noninvasively. When physiological and pathological changes cause DTI change, more functional information will come up than conventional MRI. There are some articles about DTI on uterus, uterine leiomyoma and endometrial cancer, which shows its reliability in physiological and diseased analyze of uterine, thus to help treat and prognose diseases. This article is about progress of DTI in uterus.
