Abstract:
Cervical carcinoma remains a common gynecologic malignancy. Physical examination has historically served as the predominant tool for staging and assessment, in part due to lack of availability of additional diagnostic resources in many parts of the world. Cross-sectional imaging in the evaluation of cervical cancer has become standard of care in developed countries, and has recently been incorporated into the official staging classification of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. This article will describe the use of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography/computed tomography and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging in cervical cancer patients, review optimal techniques for MR evaluation of the cervix, and describe key aspects of staging and management of cervical carcinoma.
