Overview
CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cervical cancer, but usually, its usage is for staging and detecting the depth of invasion into the myometrium.
CT
Computerised tomography (CT) is used for clinical staging of cervical carcinoma, it improves the accuracy of staging based on FIGO guidelines. CT scan is useful in evaluating the followings:[1]
- Tumor size
- Parametrial invasion
- Lymph node and distant metastasis
- Ureteral involvement and the functional status of kidneys.
