| Abstract | ||
| Background: the role of MRI in female pelvic imaging has been magnified nowadays by the aid of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and contrast enhanced imaging for better assessment of endometrial cancer. Aim of the Work: this study aimed to show MRI role in diagnosis of female patients with endometrial cancer for better evaluation, prognosis and treatment strategies according to preoperative MRI staging. Patients and Methods: this study carried out in Radiology Department of Ain Shams University Hospitals. This study included 25 patients. All patients were subjected to careful history taking, histologic diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma and pelvic MRI was done. Results: the diagnosis capability of the MRI in comparison to histopathology in patients with endometrial carcinoma was significant. Conclusion: MR imaging with the aid of contrast enhanced images, diffusion weighted images and ADC mapping, had a great role in diagnosis of endometrial cancer as part of pre-operative assessment for lesion characterization and staging of the disease, that improve overall survival rate of patients by choosing better treatment plan. | ||
