- Abstract
- Using functional MR imaging techniques, we can approach the functional assessment of gynecologic malignancies. Among them, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI) are two important techniques. This article provides an overview of functional MR imaging techniques, focusing DWI and DCE-MRI on clinical application in gynecologic malignancies. Functional MR imaging techniques play an important role in detection, characterization, staging, treatment response, and outcome prediction, as well as providing conventional morphologic imaging. Familiarity with the characteristics and imaging features of functional MR imaging in gynecologic malignancies will facilitate prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment.
