Overview
Pelvic MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of vaginal cancer.
Pelvic MRI
MRI can assist in determining the primary vaginal tumor size and local extent[1]. Imaging features will somewhat depend on the histologcial type of malignancy[2][3][4].
Reported general signal characteristics in general include :
Reported signal charactersitics for squamous cell carcinoma include :
- T1: low signal intensity
- T2: intermediate signal intensity
