Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recently, fertility preserved treatment and personalized treatment are highly required. In the field of gynecologic diagnostic imaging, our objectives were as follows: 1)construction of uterine functional evaluation using MRI, 2) Diagnosis of gynecologic malignancy by both morphological and functional imaging, including perspective on prognostic prediction, 3) new MR imaging contrast and construction of MR parameters. As a results, we could get the factors that improve diagnostic accuracy for gynecologic cancer and factors that will predict patients’ prognosis. Those results may lead to multicenter study for getting for useful information for both patients and physicians.
