[Abstract] Endometrial cancer is a common malignant tumor in postmenopausal women. The differential diagnosis, preoperative staging, pathological classification and pathological grading are the keys to treatment and prognosis. Conventional MRI is mainly confined to morphological imaging. Different diffusion models include diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), intracorporeal incoherent motion imaging (IVIM), be able to provide more clinical information through a series of quantitative and semi-quantitative data analysis. Combined with domestic and foreign literature, this article reviews the application of these four diffusion models in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
