The first line to treat any disease that’s be in diagnosing tools. Aim of the study: we aimed from this study to enhancing the role of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect the endometrial cancer. Patients and Method: The study included 25 patients referred from the gynecological outpatient clinic to assess the endometrium, in range between 45-75 years old with dysfunctional uterine bleeding, bleeding of post-menopausal, and taken tamoxifen through 1.5 tesla diffusion weighted MRI Achiva Philips 32 channels. Results: Aging patients was 59.96 ± 7.9 years old, 88% presented with postmenopausal bleeding and 12% menorrhagia, which 79% histopathological adenocarcinoma 16% unspecific carcinoma, grading tumor was grade I in 52%, 28% grade II, and 20% in grade III, In DW1 images, we found that high signal was present among all selected patients (25 females). Conclusion: The most important and accurate imaging technique in endometrial cancer staging is the MRI diffusion weighted more than T2W conventional images alone.
