A prospective study was undertaken to assess the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to stage cervical carcinoma. Compared to computed tomography (CT), MRI showed a high degree of accuracy in correctly demonstrating involvement of the vagina, parametria and sidewalls, bladder, and lymph nodes but tended to overestimate disease in all of the categories studied. Large-scale studies comparing the two modalities are necessary because the most accurate staging of cervical carcinoma is crucial for selecting the best treatment protocols.
开展了一项前瞻性研究，以评估磁共振成像（MRI）对宫颈癌进行分期的能力。与计算机断层扫描（CT）相比，MRI在正确显示阴道、宫旁组织和侧壁、膀胱及淋巴结受累情况方面具有高度准确性，但在所有研究类别中均倾向于高估病情。由于宫颈癌最准确的分期对于选择最佳治疗方案至关重要，因此有必要开展比较这两种检查方式的大规模研究。
