Overveiw

Pelvic MRI is helpful in the diagnosis of cervical cancer and also it is used for determining the better treatment modality for each patient and evaluation of lymph nodes involvement .

MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging techniques is very useful for evaluation of lymph node volume in patient with cervical cancer in advanced stage, other advantages of MRI techniques in patient with cervical cancer include:[1]

  • The best treatment modality for each patient (ie, surgery or radiation therapy) can be determined more accurately with MR imaging.
  • Brachytherapy and external beam therapy are done after evaluation of the shape and direction of lesion growth by MRI.
  • MR imaging can also be used to identify important prognostic factors such as lesion volume and metastatic lymph node involvement that will help determine whether treatment will be palliative or curative.
