To determine the usefulness of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in predicting response to uterine artery embolization (UAE) for symptomatic adenomyosis.A prospective study was performed on 25 patients who underwent diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before UAE between June 2011 and December 2012. All patients underwent 3-month follow-up MRI after UAE using non-spherical polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles ranging from 150 to 500 mu m. Quantitative measurement of the ADC was performed for each adenomyosis. Complete response and incomplete response were defined as a parts per thousand yen90 % or < 90 %, respectively, of the non-perfusion area with adenomyosis at the follow-up MRI. The ADC values were compared between patients who achieved complete or incomplete response which was assessed according to the MRI findings after UAE.Nineteen patients showed complete response, and six showed incomplete response. The ADC value ranged from 0.842 to 1.346 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s (mean 1.075 +/- 0.117). The mean ADC was 1.043 +/- 0.237 in the complete response group and 1.176 +/- 0.429 in the incomplete response group (0.012). Using a threshold of < 1.147 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s, the sensitivity and specificity of the ADC to predict success after UAE were 83.3 % and 84.2 %.The ADC of adenomyosis may potentially predict a successful response to UAE for adenomyosis.aEuro cent Pre-procedural MRI might help clinicians predict response of UAE in adenomyosisaEuro cent ADC might help predict UAE outcomes in adenomyosisaEuro cent MR predictors might be used to counsel patients with symptomatic adenomyosis.
