We compared a conventional MR imaging protocol to a
streamlined 10-minute protocol comprised of a single
plane of T2 with fat saturation and a high-resolution,
free-breathing, post-contrast 3D SPGR sequence in
evaluating 19 patients with cervical or endometrial
carcinoma. Two readers assessed imaging findings and
assigned confidence scores. The high-resolution,
post-contrast 3D SPGR sequence did not result in
significantly different diagnoses or confidence scores
compared to a conventional protocol, and can greatly
reduce total scan time from 30-40 min to ~10 min.
