Abstract

The first pass phase of contrast material is most important to study vascularization and perfusion of tissue and can be studied using dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the usefulness of pre-contrast vs. post-contrast and fast dynamic MR imaging in the pre-operative staging of cervical carcinomas. To assess the normal onset of enhancement of the uterus and cervix 15 volunteers underwent dynamic MR imaging. Forty-two consecutive patients with invasive cervical cancer underwent pre-operative evaluation using MR imaging. The results of the MR examinations were correlated with clinical (FIGO) staging under anaesthesia (n = 42) and with histopathological findings after operation (n = 26). The staging results of pre-contrast T1-weighted and T2-weighted turbo spin-echo (TSE) MR images, pre-contrast MR images plus post-contrast enhanced (two dimensional fast low angle shot (FLASH 2-D) post contrast), pre-contrast MR images plus post-contrast enhanced plus fast dynamic enhanced (single slice turbo fast low angle shot (turbo FLASH)) MR images compared to histopathology (n = 26) were 77%, 81% and 85% respectively. The improvement was statistically not significant. The result of M...Continue Reading
