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
