Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study aimed to compare the utility of a high-resolution diffusion-weighted imaging (HR-DWI) to a standard diffusion-weighted imaging (S-DWI) or dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE-I) in endometrial cancer diagnosis. Our initial results suggested that the HR-DWI technique appears to be as effective as S-DWI or DCE-I in qualitative assessment of local staging of endometrial cancer. In addition, HR-DWI showed the significant association with high grade tumor over S-DWI in quantitative analysis with better image quality.
