Abstract
Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound are the first line imaging investigations used to assess the female pelvis. In the majority of disorders they provide a diagnosis. However, ultrasound has limitations in staging malignant disease and other imaging options to assess the pelvis in such situations include computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The use of MRI in gynaecology has been limited by restricted availability of equipment. However, as the resources improve it is envisaged that MRI will have an increasing role in the assessment of gynaecological conditions. The factors that make MRI ideally suited for this role are superb depiction of the anatomy of the pelvic organs, the combination of high-resolution images with wide coverage, the lack of ionising radiation and the ability to use MRI in pregnancy safely.
This article reviews the current role of MRI in gynaecology.
