Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the optimal modality for local staging of gynecological tumors. Advances in functional MRI with diffusion-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences provide more detailed information regarding tumor cellularity, vascularity, and viability. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) now has an established role in imaging for gynecological cancers, particularly staging of locally advanced cervical cancers and pre-salvage exenterative therapy in relapsed gynecologic tumors. Novel PET tracers, targeting other aspects of tumor biology, are being evaluated although none are currently in routine clinical use. New PET/MR scanners have the potential to combine the strengths of both modalities in one sitting. This review covers advances in gynecologic imaging concentrating on cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers.
