Images of a 69-year-old woman with endometrial cancer, grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma, T1aN0M0, stage IA. Sagittal (a) and axial (b) T2-weighted MRI show an endometrial tumor (arrow), without deep myometrial invasion. The tumor (arrow) is hyperintense on diffusion-weighted imaging (c) and hypointense on the ADC map (d). The ADCmin of the tumor was 0.45 × 10−3 mm2/s, and the ADCmean was 0.58 × 10−3 mm2/s. PET (e) and PET/MRI fusion images (f) show intense FDG uptake of the tumor (arrow). The SUVmax of the tumor was 12.5, MTV was 3.9 mL, and TLG was 29 g.
