Overveiw
Pelvic MRI is helpful in the diagnosis of cervical cancer.
MRI
- A dedicated MRI protocol is often useful for optimal imaging assessment.
- The normal low signal cervical stroma provides intrinsic contrast for the high signal cervical tumour.
- T1: usually isointense compared with pelvic muscles
- T2
- hyperintense relative to the low signal of the cervical stroma
- hyperintensity is thought to be present regardless of histological sub type 1
- T1 C+ (Gd)
- contrast is not routinely used, though it may be helpful to demonstrate small tumours considered for trachelectomy
- on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images, tumour presents as a high signal relative to the low signal of the cervical stroma 24
