Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging during radiotherapy of locally advanced cervical cancer - treatment response assessment using different segmentation methods.

CONCLUSION: Among the three semi-automatic segmentations of hyper-intense intensities on DW-MR images implemented, cluster analysis and relative signal thresholding had the greatest similarity to the clinical tumor volume. Evaluation of mean ADC value did not depend on segmentation method.
