title: The role of computerized tomography of the pelvis in the presurgical staging of carcinoma of the cervix and of the ovary.
abstract: Computerized Tomography (CT) has largely contributed to the diagnosis of the pathology of the female pelvis. After setting up a technique to outline the different viscera the authors have employed this method in the staging of neoplastic pathology of the cervix and ovary. They describe the successes obtained and the main cause of error in the interpretation of the images of CT.
