This course will enable the attendee to review the FIGO staging system of cervical carcinoma and understand how the various stages impact on patient management, thereby allowing the radiologist to tailor the report according to what the clinician wants to know. The MR imaging findings as well as potential pitfalls of the FIGO staging system will be illustrated. The attendee will take home clear guidelines on the MR staging criteria and will understand the relative accuracy of MR and CT for the various stages. Ways of optimizing MR imaging of cervical carcinoma will also be presented.
