AB  - Cervical carcinoma is a form of cancer that
commonly seen in younger females. MRI in gynecologic
oncology has developed during the previous two decades.
MRI is essentially better than sonography and CT in the
assessment of both tumor augmentations into the cervix
and myometrial attack. MR imaging should be used as an
adjunct to clinical evaluation and in treatment planning
for patients, especially in cases with advance stages. The
study area covers a population of mostly low
socio-economic status. This was a retrospective study
conducted at the MRI center, Department of
Radiodiagnosis, Krishna Hospital and Medical Research
Center, Karad; aimed at correlating the clinical and MRI
staging in cervical carcinoma. Total 48 patients of
cervical carcinoma are included in the study with majority
of patients in 50-70 years age group. This study conclude
that MR imaging is a promising method in evaluating
carcinoma of the cervix.
