: Some study subjects or cohorts have been previously reported on in previous studies with different aims than the current manuscript.One study in <i>Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging</i> investigated the relationship between intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI in cervical cancer perfusion.One study in <i>Korean Journal of Radiology</i> assessed the feasibility of a parameter-free IVIM approach in locally advanced cervical cancer to determine the optimal <i>b</i>-value threshold for different histological cancer types.One study in <i>Acta Radiologica Open</i> examined the associations of texture features of T2W and DWI with tumour histological grading and pelvic lymph nodal status.One study in <i>Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging</i> investigated the bone marrow changes after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) using IVIM and correlated these parameters with haematological toxicity in patients with cervical cancer.One study in <i>BMC Cancer</i> assessed the concordance between the metabolic tumour volume measured by positron emission tomography (PET), anatomical tumour volume measured by T2-weighted (T2W) MRI and the functional tumour volume measured on diffusion-weighted MRI in cervical cancer.One study in <i>Academic Radiology</i> examined the utility of diffusion kurtosis imaging in the characterisation of cervical cancer.One study in <i>Korean Journal of Radiology</i> aimed to optimise the number of <i>b</i>-values needed for IVIM analysis in cervical cancer using simulated and in vivo data.One study in <i>European Radiology</i> investigated the associations of histogram features of T2W and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with treatment response of cervical cancer following CCRT
