Abstract

This research was conducted to explore the value of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on the alternating direction algorithm in the diagnosis of early cervical cancer. 64 patients diagnosed with early cervical cancer clinicopathologically were included, and according to the examination methods, they were divided into A group with conventional multimodal MRI examination and B group with the multimodal MRI examination under the alternating direction algorithm. The diagnostic results of two types of multimodal MRI for early cervical cancer staging were compared with the results of clinicopathological examination to judge the application value in the early diagnosis of cervical cancer. The results showed that in the 6 randomly selected samples of early cervical cancer patients, the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity image measurement (SSIM) of multimodal MRI images under the alternating direction algorithm were significantly higher than those of conventional multimodal MRI images and the image reconstruction was clearer under this algorithm. By comparing MRI multimodal staging, statistical analysis showed that the staging accuracy of B group was 75%, while that of A group was only 59.38%. For the results of postoperative medical examinations, the examination consistency of B group was better than that of A group, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of B group was larger than that of A group; thus, sensitivity was improved and misdiagnosis was reduced significantly. Multimodal MRI under the alternating direction algorithm was superior to conventional multimodal MRI examination in the diagnosis of early cervical cancer, as the lesions were displayed more clearly, which was conducive to the detection rate of small lesions and the staging accuracy. Therefore, it could be used as an ideal MRI method for the assistant diagnosis of cervical cancer staging.
