This article reviews the most common gynecologic malignancies and their MR imaging features. The overall goal remains early disease detection and accurate staging to optimize treatment and thereby to reduce morbidity and mortality. MR imaging, when available, may play an important role in the accurate staging and evaluation of female pelvic malignancies and, thus, may become part of their routine investigation. In the authors' experience, MR imaging has proven useful in the preoperative evaluation of these malignancies. With ongoing research into imaging protocols designed to improve image quality and reduce examination time, the importance of MR imaging will continue to grow.
本文综述了最常见的妇科恶性肿瘤及其磁共振成像（MR）特征。总体目标仍然是早期疾病检测和准确分期，以优化治疗从而降低发病率和死亡率。如有条件，MR成像在女性盆腔恶性肿瘤的准确分期和评估中可能发挥重要作用，因此可能成为其常规检查的一部分。根据作者的经验，MR成像已证明在这些恶性肿瘤的术前评估中很有用。随着旨在提高图像质量和缩短检查时间的成像方案的不断研究，MR成像的重要性将持续增加。
