<div style="text-align: justify;"><br><i></i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><i><b>Purpose:</b></i> A new MRI parameter representative of active tumor burden is proposed: diffusion volume (DV), defined as the sum of all the voxels within a tumor with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values within a specific range.<br></i><div style="text-align: justify;">The aims of the study were: (a) to calculate DV on ADC maps in patients with cervical/endometrial cancer; (b) to correlate DV with histological grade (G) and risk classification; (c) to evaluate intra/inter-observer agreement of DV calculation.<br><i></i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><i><b>Materials and methods:</b></i> Fifty-three patients with endometrial (n = 28) and cervical (n = 25) cancers under-went pelvic MRI with DWI sequences. Both endometrial and cervical tumors were classified on the basis of G (G1/G2/G3) and FIGO staging (low/medium/high-risk).<br></i><div style="text-align: justify;">A semi-automated segmentation procedure was used to calculate the DV. A freehand closed ROI out-lined the whole visible tumor on the most representative slice of ADC maps defined as the slice with the maximum diameter of the solid neoplastic component. Successively, two thresholds were generated on the basis of the mean and standard deviation (SD) of the ADC values: lower threshold (LT = “mean minus three SD”) and higher threshold (HT = “mean plus one SD”). The closed ROI was expanded in 3D, including all the contiguous voxels with ADC values in the range LT-HT × 10–3 mm2/s.<br><div style="text-align: justify;">A Kruskal–Wallis test was used to assess the differences in DV among G and risk groups. Intra-/inter-observer variability for DV measurement was analyzed according to the method of Bland and Altman and the intraclass-correlation–coefficient (ICC).<br><b></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><b><i>Results:</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> DV values were significantly different among G and risk groups in both endometrial (p < 0.05) and cervical cancers (p ≤ 0.01). For endometrial cancer, DV of G1 (mean ± sd: 2.81 ± 3.21 cc) neoplasms were significantly lower than G2 (9.44 ± 9.58 cc) and G3 (11.96 ± 8.0 cc) ones; moreover, DV of low risk cancers (5.23 ± 8.0 cc) were significantly lower than medium (7.28 ± 4.3 cc) and high risk (14.7 ± 9.9 cc) ones.</span><br></b><div style="text-align: justify;">For cervical cancer, DV of G1 (0.31 ± 0.13 cc) neoplasms was significantly lower than G3 (40.68 ± 45.65 cc) ones; moreover, DV of low risk neoplasms (6.98 ± 8.08 cc) was significantly lower than medium (21.7 ± 17.13 cc) and high risk (62.9 ± 51.12 cc) ones and DV of medium risk neoplasms was significantly lower than high risk ones.<br><div style="text-align: justify;">The intra-/inter-observer variability for DV measurement showed an excellent correlation for both cancers (ICC ≥ 0.86).<br><b></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><b><i>Conclusions:</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> DV is an accurate index for the assessment of G and risk classification of cervical/endometrial cancers with low intra-/inter-observer variability.</span><br></b><br>
