[Abstract] Objective: To explore the correlation between gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture analysis based on whole tumor volume measurement ADC images and the expression of Ki-67 in endometrial carcinoma (EC).Materials and Methods: The imaging data of 37 patients with EC confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. ADC images were obtained after post-processing. According to the Ki-67 expression index of EC (<50% was low expression, >50% was high expression), patients were divided into Ki- 67 low expression group (n=17) and Ki-67 high expression group (n=20). Using Omni-Kinetics software, ROI was drawn layer by layer along the edge of the ADC image containing the essence of the tumor. After fusion, the texture parameters of GLCM were obtained, including energy, entropy, inertia, correlation and inverse difference. The difference of GLCM texture parameters between the two groups was compared by independent sample t test (normal distribution) or Mann-Whitney rank sum test (skewed distribution). The ROC curve was used to evaluate the differential diagnostic efficacy of the parameters with statistical difference for the low and high expression groups of Ki-67. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between the GLCM parameters and the expression index of Ki-67.Results: The energy and inertia of Ki-67 low expression group were higher than Ki-67 high expression group, and the difference of entropy, correlation and inverse difference were lower than Ki-67 high expression group (P<0.05). The AUC of energy, entropy, inertia, correlation and inverse difference predicted Ki-67 high expression were 0.724, 0.865, 0.803, 0.809 and 0.847, respectively. The energy and inertia were negatively correlated with Ki-67 expression index of EC (P<0.05), the entropy, correlation and inverse difference were positively correlated with Ki-67 expression index (P<0.05).Conclusions: GLCM texture analysis based on whole tumor volume measurement ADC images of is helpful for preoperative evaluation Ki-67 expression of EC. It has certain clinical value and entropy is the best parameter.
