Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 11 patients with untreated squamous carcinoma of the cervix. The MRI stage and clinical stage were both compared with the surgical stage. MRI stage was only accurate in three of the 11 patients (27.3%) while the clinical stage was correct in eight of the 11 cases (72.7%). MRI assessment of parametrial and lymph-node involvement was difficult to interpret. These preliminary findings suggest that MRI is not, at present, a useful adjunct to staging in the evaluation of patients with carcinoma of the cervix.
对11例未经治疗的宫颈鳞癌患者进行了磁共振成像（MRI）检查。将MRI分期和临床分期与手术分期进行了比较。MRI分期在11例患者中仅3例准确（27.3%），而临床分期在11例中有8例正确（72.7%）。MRI对宫旁组织和淋巴结受累情况的评估难以解读。这些初步研究结果表明，目前MRI在评估宫颈癌患者分期时并非有用的辅助手段。
