The value of dynamic contrast–enhanced MRI in characterizing complex ovarian tumors

Table 4 Comparison of semi-quantitative DCE-MRI parameters for three groups

Tumor type	Semi-quantitative DCE-MRI parameters
Tumor type	EA^a	MS^b	THR^a
Benign	220.2 ± 90.5	6.1 ± 4.7^cd	55.5 ± 15.4^cd
Borderline	269.3 ± 70.9	8.5 ± 3.4	37.3 ± 15
Malignant	267.4 ± 86.2	11.0 ± 6.3	32.4 ± 8.5

Note: ^aANOVA; ^bKruskal-Wallis nonparametric test. P <0.05: Benign vs. Borderline (^c); Benign vs. Malignant (^d); EA enhancement amplitude, MS maximal slope, THR time of half rising
