MRI for local staging of endometrial carcinoma: Is endovenous contrast medium administration still needed?

Highlights • Intravenous contrast material administration is not routinely indicated for MRI local staging of endometrial carcinoma. • The combination of T2-weighted images with diffusion-weighted images warrants at least the same accuracy as the combination of T2-weighted images with contrast-enhan...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Intravenous contrast material administration is not routinely indicated for MRI local staging of endometrial carcinoma. • The combination of T2-weighted images with diffusion-weighted images warrants at least the same accuracy as the combination of T2-weighted images with contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images in recognizing deep myometrial invasion and cervical stromal infiltration by endometrial carcinoma.
