Diffusion.weighted imaging. (DWI) combined with its apparent diffusion coefficient. (ADC) value shows great significance in the differential diagnosis of human tumors. This meta.analysis is to determine whether ADC valued in DWI could contribute to the differential diagnosis of positive and negative lymph node. (LN) metastasis in cervical cancer. (CC) or not.
