abstract = {We aimed to investigate whether quantitative diffusivity
variables of healthy ovaries vary during the menstrual cycle
and to evaluate alterations in women using oral
contraceptives (OC).This prospective study (S-339/2016)
included 30 healthy female volunteers, with (n = 15) and
without (n = 15) intake of OC between 07/2017 and 09/2019.
Participants underwent 3T diffusion-weighted MRI (b-values
0-2000 s/mm2) three times during a menstrual cycle (T1 = day
1-5; T2 = day 7-12; T3 = day 19-24). Both ovaries were
manually three-dimensionally segmented on b = 1500 s/mm2;
apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculation and
kurtosis fitting (Dapp, Kapp) were performed. Differences in
ADC, Dapp and Kapp between time points and groups were
compared using repeated measures ANOVA and t-test after
Shapiro-Wilk and Brown-Forsythe test for normality and equal
variance.In women with a natural menstrual cycle, ADC and
kurtosis variables showed significant changes in ovaries
with the dominant follicle between T1 vs T2 and T1 vs T3,
whilst no differences were observed between T2 vs T3: ADC ±
SD for T1 1.524 ± 0.160, T2 1.737 ± 0.160, and T3 1.747 ±
0.241 μm2/ms (p = 0.01 T2 vs T1; p = 1.0 T2 vs T3, p =
0.003 T3 vs T1); Dapp ± SD for T1 2.018 ± 0.140, T2 2.272
± 0.189, and T3 2.230 ± 0.256 μm2/ms (p = 0.003 T2 vs T1,
p = 1.0 T2 vs T3, p = 0.02 T3 vs T1); Kapp ± SD for T1
0.614 ± 0.0339, T2 0.546 ± 0.0637, and T3 0.529 ± 0.0567
(p < 0.001 T2 vs T1, p = 0.86 T2 vs T3, p < 0.001 T3 vs T1).
No significant differences were found in the contralateral
ovaries or in females taking OC.Physiological
cycle-dependent changes in quantitative diffusivity
variables of ovaries should be considered especially when
interpreting radiomics analyses in reproductive women.},
