ADC values were reliable for differentiating cervical cancer from normal cervix with high diagnostic accuracy. The ADCs can be used to indicate the degree and histological type of cervical cancer, although there is some overlap. G3 tumours and lower ADCs may indicate poor prognosis. The diagnostic accuracy was equal for both ADC maps.

Distribution of ADCs characterized by histogram analysis may help to distinguish early-stage cervical cancer from normal cervix or cervical benign lesions and may be useful for evaluating the different pathologic features of cervical cancer.

CNVs of the HRH4 gene are associated with SLE.

These preliminary results suggested that the zone, age, and phase of the menstrual cycle in premenopausal women should be considered when interpreting the ADC values of uterine structures (especially for endometrium).
