title: MRI for pretreatment lymph node staging in uterine cervical cancer.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this article is to assess the accuracy of MRI in detecting pelvic and paraaortic lymph node metastasis from uterine cervical cancer using various imaging criteria.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although MRI analysis resulted in relatively low sensitivity, size and margin (spiculated or lobulated) were useful criteria for predicting lymph node metastasis from cervical cancer.
