Diffusion Weighted Imaging for the Assessment of Lymph Node Metastases in Women with Cervical Cancer: A Meta-analysis of the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Values.

Purpose: To assess the diagnostic performance of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) and provide optimal apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) cut-off values for differentiating between benign and metastatic lymph nodes in women with uterine cervical cancer.

Method: MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched. Methodological quality was assessed with QUADAS-2.
