Transvaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging for assessment of presence, size and extent of invasive cervical cancer

Abstract

Ultrasound and MRI had similar sensitivity and specificity with regard to the parameters investigated. Ultrasound has the advantages over MRI of low cost, widespread availability and of being a relatively quick procedure. Ultrasound should be considered as a suitable diagnostic method in the preoperative work-up of cervical cancer.
