title: [Endometrial cancer: progress in the evaluation of locoregional extension by imaging techniques].
abstract: In the evaluation of loco regional extension, MRI and ultrasound provide highly valuable information, with respect to the invasion of deep myometrium, which determines prognosis, being highly similar for the two techniques. This gives ultrasound techniques a role of primary intention for reasons of public health economics. MRI, however, improves the work-up of other types of loco regional extension, and CT scan remains an indispensable tool for evaluating overall lymph node involvement and visceral extension.
