Cervical carcinoma: optimized local staging with intravaginal contrast-enhanced MR imaging--preliminary results

L Van Hoe et al. Radiology. 1999 Nov.

Abstract

Ten patients suspected of having cervical carcinoma underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging before and after opacification of the vagina with a mixture of barium, water, and maltodextrin/calcium lactate. Use of vaginal contrast medium resulted in improved visualization of the vaginal wall, lumen, and fornices in all patients and in a change in local tumor stage in two patients (20%). This technique may contribute to improved noninvasive staging of cervical carcinoma.
