There has been no previous report on the utility of computed DWI with b-values above 1000 s/mm² for the evaluation of cervical cancer. We aimed to evaluate the utility of computed DWI in cervical cancer and investigate the optimal b-value using computed DWI with b-values of 800, 1000, 1300, 1600 and 2000 s/mm². Computed DWI with b-values of 1300 or 1600 s/mm² may be recommended for the clinical evaluation of the extent of cervical cancer.
