[Problem of pretherapeutic staging of cervical carcinoma. Studies of the diagnostic value of computerized tomography and magnetic resonance tomography in comparison with gynecologic palpation findings and pathologic-anatomic diagnosis].
In a prospective study of 20 cases, the importance of nuclear magnetic resonance as a diagnostic tool in cervix carcinoma was investigated. The results were compared with those of the Computer tomography as well as with those of the clinical examinations. The histology served as "Standard". In the evaluation of the local tumor invasion the gynecological examination appeared to be the most important. The involvement of regional lymph nodes was detected more accurately by the NMR as compared to CT. The exact clinical staging was not achieved by either method; thus these new diagnostic methods do not alter the planning and the technique of the operation.
