Abstract: Objective To explore the value of 3.0T MRI in preoperative diagnosis and staging of elderly cervical carcinoma.Methods Totally 73 patients were enrolled in this trial.The MRI features of cervical carcinoma and invasion of adjacent tissue were evaluated,the correlation of MRI staging and pathological staging was studied.Results MRI showed lesions in 73 patients,the accuracy of diagnosis for uterine cervical carcinoma was 100.0 ％,for parametrial invasion was 94.2 ％.The results of MRI staging of 52 cases showed the accuracy was 88.5％ (46 cases) as compared with postoperative pathology.The correlation between the MRI and postoperative pathology in the stages of Ⅰ B,Ⅱ A and Ⅱ B uterine cervical cancer was very well(x2 ＝ 61.43,P＜0.01),the consistency of MRI in the diagnosis of uterine cervical cancer in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ with postoperative pathology was extremely strong(100％).Conclusions The accuracy of diagnosis and staging for uterine cervical carcinoma is high in MRI imaging.
