title: [Imaging of the cervix and the vagina].
abstract: US and MRI currently are the best imaging modalities to evaluate pathology of the uterine cervix and vagina. Carcinoma of the cervix is the most frequent indication for imaging. MRI allows preoperative staging of cervical carcinoma based on FIGO classification, and post treatment follow-up. Other uterine cervix diseases are less frequently imaged and include a wide range of entities that most frequently cause increased T2W signal at MR imaging. Pathology of the pelvic floor, vagina, vulva, and perineum also includes a wide range of entities that have seldom been described in the imaging literature.
