ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We wished to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of dynamic MRI in assessing tumor visualization and the parametrial invasion of cervical cancer, and we also wished to determine the most adequate enhancing time by comparing the T2-weighted image (T2WI) and enhanced T1-weighted image (Gd-T1WI). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Fifty-three women with histopathologically proven cervical cancer underwent a preoperative MRI. Using a 1.5 T magnet, the fast spin echo axial T2WI without fat saturation was taken; after contrast administration, 20, 40, 60, 90, 120 sec-dynamic MRIs were taken using fast SPGR and spin echo axial Gd-T1WI. Tumor conspicuity and parametrial invasion in each pulse sequence and the most adequate enhancing time for the evaluation of the tumor on dynamic MRI were evaluated prospectively by three radiologists working at three separate sessions. The results were then correlated with the histopathologic findings.RESULTS:
The conspicuity of tumor on dynamic MRI (99.4%) and T2WI (95.6%) were better than on Gd-T1WI (89.3%). In the assessment of parametrial invasion of the tumor, the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic MRI, Gd-T1WI and T2WI was 79.9%, 78% and 76.1%, respectively; the highest values were for the dynamic MRI, but there was no statistically significant difference among three pulse sequences. The most adequate enhancing time on dynamic MRI was between 90 seconds and 120 seconds.CONCLUSION:
Dynamic MRI is useful for the assessment of tumor visualization of cervical cancer, and the most appropriate scan time on dynamic MRI is between 90 seconds and 120 seconds. For the determination of parametrial invasion, the dynamic MRI revealed a higher diagnostic accuracy than that of T2WI or Gd-T1WI, but the differences were statistically insignificant.
