The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using synthetic MRI to identify and differentiate stage I endometrial cancer. A total of 51 patients with endometrial carcinoma were recruited. Quantitative MRI, including T1, T2 and PD mapping were used. The endometrial carcinoma had significantly different T1, T2 and PD values compared to normal uterus tissue, therefore quantitative MRI is an effective method for detection of endometrial cancer. There was no statistical difference of synthetic MRI in differentiation grades or risk stratification, which needs to be further verified.
