Using amide proton transfer-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in peritumor tissue to predict parametrial infiltration of cervical cancer: a case-control study

Parametrial infiltration (PMI) is an important indicator for staging and treatment of cervical cancer (CC). The potential of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) parameters of peritumor tissue in predicting PMI is still uncertain. This study aims to explore whether the APTw parameters of peritumor tissue can improve diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
