R2* and ADC values in differentiating endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer from ovarian cancer
This study compared R2* and ADC values in endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer versus other ovarian cancers, finding that ADC values effectively discriminated between the groups while R2* values showed no significant difference.

This study investigated the utility of R2* and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in distinguishing endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer from non-endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. The researchers analyzed imaging data from 9 lesions in patients with endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer and 21 lesions in patients with standard ovarian cancer to compare these quantitative MRI parameters. The analysis revealed that ADC values were effective in discriminating between the two cancer subtypes, whereas no significant difference was observed in the R2* values. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically regarding its association with ovarian cancer and the use of MRI biomarkers for differentiation.
