Polikistik over sendromu ile uyumlu görüntüleme bulgulari olan hastalarda diffüzyon ağirlikli manyetik rezonans görüntüleme

Purpose and Scope In this study, it was aimed to determine whether there are differences in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging ADC values in patients with normal ovarian findings and PKOS findings. Materials and Methods Retrospective file scanning was performed between 01 / 2013-02 / 2017. The study included 50 female patients with PKOS-compatible imaging findings over the age of 18 years who underwent pelvic MRI and diffusion MRI at the Department of Radiology of Hafsa Sultan Hospital, Celal Bayar University. Imaging findings compatible with PKOS included an additional gynecological disease in the current patient and exclusion criteria. The control group consisted of 50 female patients with normal ovarian imaging findings in the MRI of the 18-year-old who underwent Pelvic MRI and Diffusion MRI in the Department of Radiology of Hafsa Sultan Hospital, Celal Bayar University. Patients with abnormal ovarian vision and an additional gynecological disease were excluded as exclusion criteria. Results The demographic characteristics and MRI parameters of the patients were examined. The mean age of the patients was 27.1 ± 6.0 years, the mean right volume was 7.5 ± 1.6 cm3, and the mean left volume was 7.1 ± 1.3 cm3. The mean right ADC stroma value was 1.5 ± 0.3, right ADC ovary was 1.7 ± 0.4, left ADC stroma was 1.6 ± 0.3, left ADC ovary was 1.7 ± 0.3. The demographic characteristics and MRI parameters of the patients were investigated according to the groups and no significant difference was found between them. Correlations between age, right and left ADC ovaries were investigated in the study subjects, patients and control group, and no significant correlation was found. No statistically significant threshold was found for the MRI parameters in polycystic ovary syndrome estimation. Conclusion In conclusion, DAG can be seen as a promising method in the diagnosis of PKOS. Further studies with larger sample and population are needed to support the results of our study and to investigate the role of DWI in assessing the severity of the disease and in evaluating the response to treatment. With the new developments in technology, it is certain that the reduction of the time for the probable increase in the spatial resolution of the diffusion-weighted imaging will increase the effectiveness of this imaging technique.
