Advantages of MRI in diagnosing cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a common gynecological malignancy. Correctly determining the staging of cervical cancer plays an important role in formulating a reasonable treatment plan and judging the prognosis. Currently, the clinical diagnosis and staging of cervical cancer are mainly based on specialist examinations and cervical biopsy cytology examinations, but it is difficult to determine the depth and exact range of tumor infiltration.

Magnetic resonance imaging is widely used in the diagnosis and postoperative follow-up of gynecological malignancies because of its advantages such as being non-invasive, having high soft tissue resolution, and being able to perform multi-directional and multi-sequence imaging.

Magnetic resonance imaging is non-invasive and can be used to identify the most common cervical cancers.

Kidney. Retroperitoneal plain scan and enhanced scan and pelvic plain scan

The size and shape of both kidneys were normal, and the signal of the renal parenchyma was uniform, with no obvious abnormal signal. Multiple small flakes with a signal of 72 mm in length were found in the right posterior lobe of the liver, and nodular enhancement was observed after enhancement. Multiple small round shadows with a signal of 71 mm in length and 72 mm in length were found in the liver, with clear edges and no enhancement. Enlarged lymph nodes were found in the retroperitoneal renal hilum and below, with the largest one having a diameter of about 1200 mm.

The pelvic structures are clearly visible, and the uterus is absent. The bladder wall is diffusely thickened. A 72-signal shadow is seen in the pelvic cavity. The subcutaneous soft tissue in the lower abdomen is swollen.

1. Changes after comprehensive treatment of cervical cancer.

2. Pelvic effusion and bladder wall thickening are recommended to be combined with clinical diagnosis.

3. The enhanced lesion in the right posterior lobe of the liver has not changed much compared with the original film, and dynamic observation is recommended.

4. Retroperitoneal lymph nodes are enlarged at the level of the renal hilum and below, which may be considered as metastasis.

5. Multiple small cysts in the liver.

To investigate the application value of magnetic resonance background suppression diffusion-weighted imaging in the diagnosis of metastatic lymph nodes in cervical cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 25 preoperative cases of cervical cancer who underwent hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection.
