18F-FDG PET/MRI with high-resolution DWI characterizes the distinct phenotypes of endometrial cancer

Conclusions: Endometrial cancer tends to increase tumor cellularity with accelerated glucose metabolism in higher histological grade or stage. The SUV-to-ADC ratio obtained by integrated FDG-PET/MRI reflects tumor aggressiveness and will be useful for noninvasive diagnosis and for deciding on the appropriate therapeutic strategy for patients with endometrial cancer.
