The bladder mucosal invasion in 14 cervical cancers was evaluated with reduced FOV DWI and cystoscopy. The diagnosis of invasion had a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 50%, PPV of 92%, and NPV of 100%.
Bladder mucosal invasion positive case: Bladder mucosal invasion was positive on rFOV-DWI, and confirmed by cystoscopy.
Bladder mucosal invasion false positive case: Bladder mucosal invasion was positive on rFOV-DWI, but not confirmed by cystoscopy (false positive). Probably submucosal invasion with bullous edema may mimic mucosal invasion on rFOV-DWI.
