Correlation between tumor glucose metabolism and multiparametric functional MRI (IVIM and R2*) metrics in cervical carcinoma: Evidence from integrated F-FDG PET/MR.

Background: Multiparameter, multimodality F-FDG PET/MRI holds great potential for the diagnosis of cervical cancer based on the correlation between tumor glucose metabolism and imaging parameters.

Purpose: To characterize the heterogeneity of tumor glucose metabolism by evaluating the correlation between F-FDG uptake parameters and multiparametric functional MRI metrics in cervical carcinoma.

Study Type: Retrospective.
