[Magnetic resonance tomography in the staging of uterine neoplasms].
Diagnostic significance of MR imaging used for cervical carcinoma staging was established during the examination of 71 patients with verified tumors stage I-III. These findings were compared with the clinical and surgical data. MRI procedure proved highly effective in detecting uterine body involvement, identification of hydroureter caused by the ureters being squeezed by parametrial infiltrates as well as reliable exclusion of parametrial infiltration of bladder wall invasion. It is instrumental in assessing involvement of tissues around the uterus and regional lymph node condition.
