title: MRI of cervical carcinoma.
abstract: MRI is useful for demonstrating enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes and for demonstrating the carcinoma mass in patients with carcinoma of the cervix. MRI evaluation of the parametria appears promising, but further studies are necessary to elucidate the optimal imaging parameters and to better define the overall accuracy of MRI compared to the clinical evaluation of the parametria.
