Gynecological cancers are often very curable, if diagnosed and treated at an early stage. MRI technology is one of the newer modalities used to help diagnose, evaluate and stage cancer of the bladder, cervix, endometrial lining, ovary and rectum. The clarity of soft tissue imaged achieved using MRI helps to differentiate normal anatomy from pelvic tumors and its spread. MRI is also an excellent imaging choice for diagnosing non-cancerous gynecological disorders.

MR image of the pelvis of a woman shows the uterus (arrow) and ovaries (arrowhead).
