From: MRI-assessed tumor-free distance to serosa predicts deep myometrial invasion and poor outcome in endometrial cancer

Fig. 1

Schematic overview of the different measurements marked on an axial oblique slice of the uterus. The myometrial wall is colored pink, tumor is gray and the endometrium/uterine cavity is light blue and the boundary between the myometrium and endometrium is delineated with a dotted black line. APD (blue arrow): maximum anteroposterior tumor diameter. MW (orange arrow): presumed thickness of the myometrial wall. DOI (green arrow): absolute depth of myometrial tumor invasion in the region exhibiting proportionally deepest invasion. TFD (pink arrow): tumor-free distance to serosa in the area exhibiting deepest invasion or shortest distance to serosa. The conventional dichotomous imaging parameter, iDMI, myometrial invasion of ≥ 50% of the myometrial wall is determined by DOI relative to MW
