Fig. 1

A 24-year-old premenopausal female with endometrial thickness 6 mm by TVS. a, b Sagittal and axial T2WIs show normal zonal anatomy of the uterus. The central hyperintense stripe represents the endometrium (arrows); the band of low SI subjacent to the endometrial stripe represents the junctional zone (red stars). The outer myometrium is of intermediate SI (OM).c Axial DWI with b value of 1000 s/mm2 shows normal appearance of the endometrium with high signal intensity (arrow).d Axial DW-ADC map image shows normal appearance of the endometrium with intermediate signal intensity. Mean DW-ADC value = 1.570 × 10−3 mm2/s. e, f Sagittal and axial DTI map images demonstrate values of DT-FA and DT-ADC (MD) in multiple ROI along the endometrial stripe. Mean DT-FA value = 0.382, and mean DT-MD value = 1.433 × 10−3 mm2/s. Diagnosis: normal endometrium
