Progress of researches on the value of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of gynecologic malignancies

Abstract

Gynecologic cancer, a class of malignant tumors originating from female reproductive systems, consists of approximately 20% of all female malignancies, which severely affects female health and causes disease, economic, social and family burdens. Imaging tools, such as ultrasound, CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have been widely used in screening and clinical diagnosis of gynecologic cancers, which provide insights into the pre-surgical evaluation and treatment planning. This review summarizes the advances of MRI in the diagnosis of common gynecologic cancers, including endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, vulvar cancer and ovarian cancer.
