[MR tomography of gynecologic diseases of the minor pelvis]

The results of MR examinations of 31 women with gynaecological diseases are described; all had CT and histological confirmation at operation. The extent and relationship of the lesions were well demonstrated by the three-dimensional sections of MR, in some cases better than on CT. Variations in the signals allowed better differentiation of myomas and ovarian carcinomas from normal tissue. Like CT, MR tomography was not reliable in showing the extent of infiltration into neighbouring structures.
