Abstract:
MRI is multiplanar, has large field of view, superior contrast resolution and no known adverse effect on the reproductive potential of ovaries. It is useful for characterizing solid, cystic or necrotic tissue, blood and fat. Contrast-enhanced MRI is also a comprehensive examination of the entire pelvis including lymph nodes, peritoneum, pelvic sidewalls, bone and muscles. It provides information about areas difficult to assess surgically, can refine staging classification, assists in planning surgery or radiotherapy and may be more cost-effective by limiting use of surgery. This is a pictorial essay of MRI assessment of female pelvic neoplasm.
