This study compared DWI and DCE-MRI in assessing the depth of myometrial invasion in endometrial cancer. 50 patients with histologically confirmed endometrial cancer underwent DWI and DCE-MRI as part of their initial preoperative staging MRI. We demonstrate that DWI is more accurate at assessing the depth of myometrial invasion compared to DCE-MRI and has significantly higher inter-reader agreement.
