[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters in the identification of epidermal ovarian tumors, and the correlation between ovarian cancer and ki67 expression.Materials and Methods: The data of MR plain scan, IVIM and routine enhancement examination of 73 patients with epidermal ovarian tumor (27 cases of benign tumor and 46 cases of malignant tumor) confirmed by surgical pathology were retrospectively analyzed. IVIM parameter values (ADC, Dslow, Dfast and f) were analyzed and measured, and the differences in each parameter between benign and malignant groups were compared. The ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the efficacy of various parameters in the differential diagnosis of epidermal ovarian tumors, and the diagnostic boundary value, sensitivity and specificity of each parameter were calculated. The correlation between IVIM parameter value and expression level of ki67 was analyzed.Results: ADC, Dslow and f values of the benign group were all higher than those of the malignant group (all P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in Dfast between the two groups (P=0.059). Among them, ADC value has extremely high sensitivity and Dslow and f value have high specificity. Dslow value had the highest efficacy in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian tumors from epidermal tumors, with the area under the ROC curve being 0.934 (P<0.01), the optimal threshold being 0.853×10-3 mm2/s, and the sensitivity and specificity being 85.2% and 87%, respectively. ADC, Dslow, and f were all negatively correlated with ki67 (P<0.05), while Dfast was not significantly correlated with ki67 (P>0.05).Conclusions: IVIM is helpful in identifying benign and malignant epidermal ovarian tumors, in which the sensitivity of ADC value is extremely high, while the specificity of Dslow and f value is high, which has certain reference significance for clinical diagnosis. Some IVIM parameters are related to the expression of ki67, so it can indirectly provide help for the prognosis assessment of ovarian cancer.
