Both TSE- and EPI-DWI were performed with b values of 0 and 1000 s\/mm\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n . We compared geometric distortion, the contrast ratio (CR) of the myometrium to the muscle and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values for the myometrium and lesion. Two radiologists scored the TSE- and EPI-DWI of each patient for qualitative evaluation.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The mean percent distortion was significantly smaller with TSE- than EPI-DWI ( p\u2009=\u20090.00). The CR was significantly higher with TSE- than EPI-DWI ( p\u2009=\u20090.003). There was a significant difference in the ADC value for the uterus and lesions between the EPI- and TSE-DWI ( p\u2009<\u20090.05). Finally, the ADC values of cancer were significantly different from those for the uterus and benign with both the two sequences ( p\u2009<\u20090.05). The scores for ghosting artifacts were higher with TSE- than EPI-DWI ( p\u2009=\u20090.019). But there were no significant differences between TSE- and EPI-DWI with regard to image contrast and overall image quality.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n TSE-DWI on the female pelvis by 3T MRI produces less distortion and higher CR than EPI-DWI, but there is no difference in contrast and image quality.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2058460121994737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,22]],"date-time":"2021-02-22T11:15:36Z","timestamp":1613992536000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparison between turbo spin-echo and echo planar diffusion-weighted imaging of the female pelvis with 3T MRI"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1623-1375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takeshi","family":"Yoshizako","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya Izumo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9157-643X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rika","family":"Yoshida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya Izumo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8120-4034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroya","family":"Asou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya Izumo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2361-2424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Megumi","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya Izumo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hajime","family":"Kitagaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya Izumo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2058460121994737","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.06.1403"},{"key":"bibr2-2058460121994737","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mri.2010.07.013"},{"key":"bibr3-2058460121994737","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.acra.2018.11.016"},{"key":"bibr4-2058460121994737","first-page":"e0477","volume":"19","author":"Hirata K","year":"2018","journal-title":"Medicine"},{"key":"bibr5-2058460121994737","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kundel HL, Polansky M.
