Abstract
|
|
|
One hundred and twenty seven patients with uterine cervical carcinoma underwent computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance(MR) imaging, followed by surgical exploration. MR imaging was superior to CT in visualization of the tumor, for
parametrial
evaluation, and for tumor staging. MR imaging had an accuracy of 74% in the assessment of thickness of cervical stromal invasion. The accuracy rates for parametrial evaluation were 78% for CT and 88% for MR imaging. The overall accuracy rates for
tumor
staging were 68% for CT and 80% for MR imaging. The accuracy rates for pelvic lymph node evaluation were 82% for CT and 85% for MR imaging. Our findings suggest that MR imaging is supperior to CT in preoperative staging of uterine cervical
carcinoma.
