Pelvic MRI is helpful in the diagnosis of cervical cancer.

A dedicated MRI protocol is often useful for optimal imaging assessment.^[1]
The normal low signal cervical stroma provides intrinsic contrast for the high signal cervical tumour.

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
