Functional tumour burden of peritoneal carcinomatosis derived from DWI could predict incomplete tumour debulking in advanced ovarian carcinoma

ConclusionsDWI-derived fPCI offered a semi-automated estimation of PC burden. fPCI/ADC could predict the likelihood of incomplete tumour debulking with high accuracy.Key Points•Functional peritoneal cancer index (fPCI) derived from DWI offered a semi-automated estimation of tumour burden in ovarian carcinoma.•fPCI was highly correlated with surgical PCI (sPCI).•fPCI/ADC could predict the likelihood of incomplete tumour debulking with high accuracy.
