A 55-year-old postmenopausal female with endometrial thickness 5 mm by TVS. a, b Sagittal and axial T2 WIs show normal zonal anatomy of the uterus. The central high signal stripe represents the endometrium (red arrows); the adjacent band of low signal intensity represents the junctional zone (yellow arrows). The outer myometrium is of intermediate SI (white arrows). 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 = 1.306 × 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 = 0.378, and mean DT-ADC (MD) value = 1.51 × 10−3 mm2/s. Diagnosis: normal endometrium
