Purpose: To investigate whether amide proton transfer (APT) imaging is useful to differentiate benign ovarian cystic lesions.Materials and methods: This prospective study enrolled a total of 19 lesions in 18 patients with benign ovarian cystic lesion: serous cystadenoma (SCA), n = 4; mucinous cystadenoma (MCA), n = 9; or functional cyst (FC), n = 6. APT imaging was performed with three different presaturation pulse durations: 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 s. APT signal was defined as magnetization transfer ratio asymmetry at 3.5 ppm. The SI ratios of cyst to muscle calculated on T1- and T2-weighted images were defined as T1- and T2-ratios. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps were also generated. We compared the three cystic lesion groups' APT signals, T1-ratio, T2-ratio, and ADC.Results: When using 2.0 s of presaturation, the APT signals were 1.41 +/- 0.71% in SCA, 5.15 +/- 1.92% in MCA and 8.52 +/- 1.17% in FC. Significant differences were observed between SCA and MCA (p
