title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Diagnosis, Staging, and Surveillance of Cervical Carcinoma.
abstract: Cervical carcinoma remains a common gynecologic malignancy. Magnetic resonance imaging is a useful and accurate tool in the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of cervical carcinoma. This article describes the optimal techniques for magnetic resonance evaluation of the cervix, illustrates the role of magnetic resonance imaging in patients with known or indicated cervical carcinoma, and describes key aspects of staging and management of cervical carcinoma.
