Combined T2-W and ZOOM-DW endovaginal MRI in women with
cervical cancer treated with fertility-sparing surgery
shows good correlation between MRI and histological
estimates of tumor size (0.8 and 0.86 Observers 1&2,
p<0.0001) and volume (0.79 and 0.52 Observers 1&2,
p<0.01). Sensitivity and specificity for detecting
tumors (median volume 0.31cm3) was 86.7% and 80.0%
respectively. The ratio between MRI and histology
measurements for length of uninvolved endocervical canal
above tumor was 1.7 + 1.1 (Observer 1) 1.7 + 1.3
(Observer 2); MRI underestimated the available length of
normal endocervical canal in 5% (1/19) cases.
